    "content": "Mzee Moi’s name was idle, we give it out. Then hon. Rege should tell us. He has been a Permanent Secretary and has known the players from Michael Joseph to Bob Collymore, but the Members in this House are not looking for dealers’ licence. They are here to protect their constituents who have invested in small medium companies in ICT. That the money that Kenyans will raise through taxation, partly, must go to its own people. We must create a serious business community that one day will compete with Safariom. When some of us see what the Equity Bank is doing, they raise our hopes. So, hon. Rege is saying that because our frequencies are idle, we give them for free to Safaricom. That is not why this House formed an independent regulatory body called the CAK. The last amendment is a moral obligation. This House is full of men and women who are experts in their fields that they run their colleagues’ businesses. In fact, this House should move further and say that every multinational company coming to this country should forfeit a certain percentage of that company’s shareholding to Kenyans. We have the LAPSSET project. We are building infrastructure and all the money is being repatriated to foreign companies. So, we must build our economies. We must have the mentality to say, “buy Kenya, build Kenya”. With those many remarks, I beg to move the three amendments and ask the Chair of the Committee on Energy, Communication and Information, hon. Jamleck Kamau, who has engaged in this matter, to second."
