    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am laughing because Hon. Jakoyo, in the last bit of his very articulate debate, has been relevant to the debate at hand. The Bill is creating very good provisions in law that will help the people of Kenya. I want to agree with Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo that, indeed, if there is a country where people are suffering because of inaccessibility of credit, then it is this country. It is perturbing because when this House moved, in the best interest of the people of Kenya, to legislate on the question of capping interest rates--- At that time, you remember banks threatening Kenyans that they would strangle credits from the private sector and the ordinary mwanachi . They preferred lending to the Government. It is unfortunate that this threat is becoming a reality today and Kenyans are completely unable to access credit from banks."
