    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank my brother here, hon. Lekuton, for bringing this Bill. In fact, when we talk about corruption and all these things, there are issues of unclaimed assets, which is a bigger monster. We are talking here about Kshs200 billion. That is money that could be used to generate power for this country. However, these assets are with commercial banks. It is lying somewhere in a corner and they are lending it to all of us at exorbitant rates. They make money out of it. What an injustice! That is a form of corruption that we are not seeing, in the name of capitalism. I was once working with the Ministry of Agriculture and I used to contribute some money, but up to now I do not know where that money is. It is part of these unclaimed assets. At worst, it should be taken to a fund where it will help this country otherwise I request that I be refunded my money. This is the kind of clean up we need in this country. In fact, it makes me shiver when I imagine what more could be happening to ordinary Kenyans who are suffering. This Bill is a necessity. For the sake of my other brothers, I beg to end here and beg to support this Bill."
