    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to second this Bill. I would like to start by thanking the Mover of this Bill, Hon. Duale, for moving it in a detailed form. Mine will be general observations because this Bill is to amend the principal Act. Like any other Bill, if we are amending, what it means is that we are improving the principal Act. Just like any other amendment Bill, I would like to confirm here that this is towards improving the original Bill covering insurance companies. Insurance companies cover are very crucial. They play a very crucial role in our day to day life. Therefore, it is important for us to keep on revisiting these Bills so that they can play the role they are playing in our activities as Kenyans. We have quite a number of companies that offer medical cover. We have other companies that give life coverage. There are those that give motor vehicle insurance covers and others offer loan insurance covers. Therefore, you can see that we will expose Kenyans if we do not have these regulations. We have new companies that are giving insurance cover on crops. Crop insurance is so critical right now. This is a completely new insurance that was introduced in this Republic for the first time in the last two years. We are encouraging the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to proceed and cover as many farmers as possible. Today, if we would be having crop insurance, maybe the problems we are facing of shortage of foodstuff, would have been taken care of. This is meant to take care of weather patterns and other effects of weather."
