This is because the Select Committee which was working on this Report, to a certain extent, did quite a good job. But I do not agree with the fact that we tried to demonize one person in the Report. I believe that the whole House will agree with this amendment. That is because we have reduced this Report to Prof. Ndung’u. With this amendment, I believe that we will be able to pass this Report and it will go into record. I know that all of us are interested parties because most of us have bank loans. Therefore, the Select Committee has done a very good job by proposing that the interest rates should come down."}
