    "content": "This Bill is timely and is going to provide a framework that will prohibit this exploitation. In retrospect, those thousands and millions of our people who have had their pensions, their lifetime savings misappropriated--- Reports have been prepared using Government offices and public resources, but those reports have not been honoured; nothing has been done. Calls have been made for action to be taken in order for punishment to provide relief and do justice, and justice cannot be complete without return of the monies that these agencies have misappropriated. It is a fact that involvement in these schemes has not just been treated--- Even sectors that otherwise would be expected to provide guidance to our very desperate constituents who want to invest in order to get returns on their money --- It may have been mentioned or reaffirmed that it is important for provision of serious broadcasts using the State media like the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC)--- Certain Motions that provide important benefits to the public are given airtime during campaigns to create awareness. With the reformed Judiciary those who have been aggrieved, have the opportunity and should have the courage to go to court in their respective areas of residence, that is in their counties, so that they can get remedies or recover their money. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there has been mention of the need for everyone and every agency to do good for the society. We know that moral and ethical issues are best executed by those who profess religion; that is, those who are theologically driven and inspired. But there are those of us in this country, the so-called astrologers, who sometimes become really loud evangelical forces, and whom we sometimes witness on TVs. This is one path to impunity. This is another kind of pyramid; you use people’s frustrations in searching for jobs, stability in their families, prosperity in businesses or loving spouses. In this country, we need firmness in us and in the Government, including the National Assembly. We also need enforcement forces, so that we do not have characters masquerading, for instance, as church personalities when all they seek is people to give up to the last coin in their pockets, and create another class of billionaires. These characters will “fly” across every village and give the impression that they can provide solution to problems."
