    "content": "As it is has been said, there is a lot of business to be done. If we put in the legal structures, they will sell out Nairobi as an investment capital in East and Central Africa, and in the whole of South Sahara, competing with financial institutions like the Stock Exchanges of South Africa and Nigeria. It will be really a fantastic thing for us. So, I am fully in support of this initiative. My only concern relating to this would be outside this Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a patriot of this nation, I remain very concerned that our children cannot participate in the business of the futures market, if they are not well educated to become the future stock brokers to manage this market and things like Nairobi Mercantile Exchange, which hon. Sakaja will soon set up in the model of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Our young people are out of school. The teachers have agreed to go back to work. Let us get a statement quickly from the Government as to when the schools will be opened. We are discussing important issues but what our young people need urgently, in order for them to be able to participate in these matters in future, is education. I am sure that the children of Ruaraka Constituency, who are right now sitting at home with their parents listening to us talking about such important matters and ignoring the most urgent issue affecting them today, having been out of school for 24 days; are wondering why this House is not taking an interest and a seriousness of purpose. We are saying that we cannot discuss this issue at the earliest but until Tuesday. I hear that the Government has some point of information. I hope that hon. Sakaja can give us information, as much as possible."
