    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand here to support this Bill which has been proposed by our good friend, Hon. Jude Njomo. If you look at the objectives of this Bill, it is trying to address inequities in societies like ours where you find institutions that should be promoting creation of wealth are basically extractive. They just extract wealth from this country and do not share with the Kenyan people. If you look at the interest rates in the banks which my colleagues have already talked about, theirs is just to mobilise resources from poor Kenyans. Instead of trying to come up with ways that can plough back these resources for people to enterprise and grow the economy, they just become custodians of these resources and promote a very unequal society of extraction instead of an inclusive society that was envisaged by the founding fathers of this nation to help us fight poverty, disease and ignorance.
