    "content": "Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this amendment of the Insurance Act. Hon. Members have talked about this amendment Bill. I rise to support. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a lot of improvement on our Insurance Act. This country needs this amendment in order to boost business even that which involves farming in this country. If you look at my age, I have had a lot of problems with the insurance. They used to have agents who recruit policy holders. These people use a lot of tricks to make you accept to be insured, yet there is no communication with their office. He is just used as an agent. He commits many policy holders without them understanding exactly what they are going to get as benefit in the insurance. Today, I am proud that I am associated with this amendment and I thank the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for introducing these amendments. This country needs to do business and our people are interested in joining business and others are interesting in doing modern farming in this country. They need insurance. You cannot carry out farming if you do not insure your crops, because of the unpredictable weather in the country. Kenya is moving faster and Kenyans need a lot of information on the insurance amendments that we have proposed today. I thank this Committee and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for proving worthy in whatever comes before this House. I congratulate this Committee for doing a good job. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
