"content": "This idea of reasoning like that Minister, that we should only save then the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank will be efficient is wrong. Efficiency is not eaten when there is hunger. We only eat food when there is hunger. We can only eat food if we invest in agriculture. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right now if you look at the accounts of the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank, you will find that they are lending to the Government. Otherwise where is that money? They cannot just take money and put it in a drawer. The money is given to the Government which spends it without giving interest to the savers. That is not social justice. This money should be lent to people so that the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank becomes a commercial bank. This will ensure that more money comes from the rural areas, more capital is accumulated from agriculture, poverty is eradicated and our people become wealthy. I beg to support."
