    "content": "and empirical evidence. They offer financial decisions and advise on various investment transactions. They will advise on accounts and records and, above all, they do verification and certification of investment securities. There is something in this Bill that for one to practice and to be a member of that professional body, he or she must pass a final certified security investment analyst examination. So, those guys with big offices in Nairobi and nice suits, please, know that you still cannot join this profession unless you go to school. It is only in Parliament – that is Senate and National Assembly - that you do not use your certificates. It is very sad. I had the pleasure to serve in the last Parliament with hon. Gumbo, hon. Langat, and hon. Kamama. We set the bar very high for MCAs, governors, senators and members of parliament. This House cannot sit to deal with a Bill that ensures that individuals without required academic standards cannot belong to that body. I have nothing to apologize for by saying that in this House, we have opened the gates for every Tom, Dick and Harry to be Members. That is why you see the House is empty now and yet, we are dealing with a serious financial-related Bill."
