    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, technology is here with us, and one of the most exciting things about this is that we are catching up with the rest of the world even in introducing a futures market which has been in the US from the 1850s and this is 2013. When hon. Millie-Odhiambo or any hon. Members keeps telling us to slow down with respect to technology, we are really worried. Not even half of Kenya is analogue; maybe, politically. But in terms of the young people in this country, who are the majority, they understand what technology can do to improve the lives of many. That is why we are excited; in any case, she is asking where she can find the Bill. It is online! The Kenya Law Reports or www.kenyalawreports.org, you can get the Act; the mother Act is there online. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to acknowledge the fact that the CMA has in the last ten years performed exceptionally well, despite the challenges they have had. We have seen the growth of the Capital Markets in this country which has even created millionaires, like hon. Dennis Waweru here; who naturally would not have had an opportunity to make certain gains in traditional markets. Of course, hon. Dennis Waweru, that is on a light touch. But really, it has given opportunities to so many Kenyans; with whatever they have, they have come and participated in IPOs, they are trading in the stock exchange and indeed, it has even contributed to raising funds for very noble projects and development programmes in this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must also acknowledge that for a long time, this institution was headed by a young lady who was below the age of 35 years. This shows that,"
