    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support. I only want to say one thing; we have had a long session. I think normally we are away from here from December to almost the end of March. I want to thank my colleagues for having endured the hard work and, of course, this work more often than not is thankless. So that we set the record straight about our Acting Minister for Finance, at the risk of appearing that I am apologizing on his behalf, he is better than the ones we had before. He, at least comes to the table to negotiate. I think we need to give him a little bit of credit. I want to urge my colleague, Mr. Mbadi and my friend Rachel not to be too hard on him. We will get somewhere. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say that this issue of interest rates, the time to crack it is now. We will and we are determined to do so. We have said with the Minister that even though the Motion was pulled from the Order Paper it provides us with the opportunity to further engage. We will be engaging in a way that the result must be that, that helps Kenyans not banks. We are determined. If anybody thought we are doing it to intimidate anybody, it is not our desire to take banks out of business. Simply what we are saying is that it has to happen in Kenya like it happens in every economy. I think in our scenario, the banks must climb down from the ivory tower and come to the negotiating table with the Minister."
