    "content": "It is important that we put a capping or regulate this. We should not leave it to banks because they are in business. As long as they are making profits, they do not sympathise with the customers. In any case, they say that they have not broken the law. We usually come to this House to make laws. When we find that a law is oppressing the common mwananchi, it is our duty, as leaders, to bring it down. My rallying call to His Excellency the President is that he becomes one among many who will have sympathy for the common mwananchi and assent to this Bill. He should not reject it because by rejecting it, we will not be doing much to encourage our people to go into business. The issue of money being kept under the mattress is very risky. We will be going into campaigns and when in the field, we will need some money which might not be accessible. One will have to go to the bank to explain where the money has come from as if it is stolen. One is treated like a thief who is already condemned before being heard."
