    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. First and foremost, this was a very good proposal. That is why it came through the miscellaneous amendment Bill. Secondly, Hon. Gaichuhie has not told us. Is it the proposal of the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) to have it deleted or is it the proposal of his Committee? If it is the proposal of his Committee, Members have no competence. He should take it from me. In fact, he should withdraw his amendment after I finish speaking. I am a former regulator. These are the sort of things we call hidden costs. You make a call and it is never disclosed. Telecommunication operators like Safaricom are making billions of shillings. This year, Safaricom will declare a profit of Kshs52 billion: Kshs52 billion comes from those hidden charges. When you call, you do not know how much you have spent. We want them to make a full disclosure so that when I make calls, I am informed. I oppose the deletion of those provisions."
