    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important for this House to realize one thing; that Kenyans suffered and continue to suffer because of the depreciation of the Kenya Shilling. The people we represent are looking at us and asking--- Many of them send us text messages asking: “Mheshimiwa, what are you doing about this Shilling losing value everyday?” If we can sit in this House after tasking a very strong Committee to go and investigate and report back to us, to trash the Report because we want to protect an individual who has protected the bank cartels and people who are fleecing Kenyans; people who are rogue--- The bankers are literally thieves in this country; stealing from Kenyans in broad daylight. If you look at the year 2011 when this country was facing a lot of problems, that is the time that the banks in this country made billions and billions in profit. In fact, all of them reported increased profits. Where did they get that capacity? It was from fleecing the people of Kenya, and most of those banks are not even Kenyan banks. They are international banks; people who take our money to those foreign countries and wazungus who are already rich, leaving us even poorer. It will be a sad day if this House will sit here and reject this Report."
