    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion for two important reasons. One, it is important that we make this law current. There is need to incorporate changes of names from “Minister” to “Cabinet Secretary”. Two, I am glad that we are looking into ways of extending our insurance business beyond our borders. As the Chair knows, Kenyans are very hard working and are very good at carrying out business. So, it will give us a window to go to Rwanda, Tanzania and carry out the insurance business. The issue that this Bill seeks to bring out is the time it takes to claim compensation. There is a provision which is very important. I would want to say that this amendment Bill is very important because we have actually looked through the problems that we will get over the borders. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from the border of Tanzania. If I go to Tanzania and by bad luck I get involved in an accident, my insurance company will actually not compensate me. They will say that it was out of the territory that is insured. So, to extend the insurance territory is a very good thing. We have actually discussed this issue in the Committee, but we also say that this action be reciprocated. They should also do the same. If we extend our insurance territory and they do not, it will never have any meaning. I believe our people in the EAC integration committee will make sure that this is done. With those remarks, I support the amendment on the Bill."
