    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and one of the basic questions that we would ask is: Where are these other big banks and microfinance institutions? They are not in some places. If you go to Lodwar, you will not find them. It is the microfinance institutions that are accessible and that is a basic question that all of us ought to ask. If we are talking of accessing credit facilities, access to manage assets and economic growth, then we are talking of microfinance. This country is talking of double digit economic growth. We cannot realise that without promoting the microfinance institutions. The under-developed or marginal communities like the Turkana for instance can only take small loans. They cannot manage to access conventional or big loans and, therefore, those projects will transform their lives. They will diversify their lives and they will be able to realise some change."
