    "content": "I support 100 per cent the issue of legislation on elections, as mentioned by Hon. Cheptumo. We do not have to threaten Members of Parliament by going through their documents. We know how important it is for all of us to understand why these regulations exist. The other issue I want to talk about is the restriction imposed by the CBK on the amount of money one can withdraw from his bank account. It is primitive that a Member of Parliament cannot walk into a bank and withdraw Kshs1 million from his savings account. You have to declare the source of the money or explain how you got it yet it is your salary and your savings that you have worked hard for. We are headed in a direction where Members of this society will feel comfortable keeping money under their beds. That primitive requirement should be done away with. The rate of robbery in this country has increased. Unless this requirement is done away with, I concur that these regulations are not part of Parliament and, therefore, should be stripped. We invite the CS for the National Treasury to come and explain to us where the CBK got this information and how they ended up implementing the same. Assume that someone violates these regulations, would you take them to court?"
