    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to present my contribution. First, Madam Temporary Speaker, I have listened keenly to Sen. Olekina’s Statement with regard to the unfortunate situation of the barley farmers of Narok. One thing has come out very clearly; that this is a legal issue which can be effectively handled by a court of law. It is an issue of breach of contract which has legal ramifications. In the first instance, I know that Sen. Olekina knows that he needs to obtain conservatory orders like a court injunction against the parties herein – the insurance companies and the EABL – before Parliament intervenes. This is because we know that our processes here are a bit lengthy and tedious. I have also heard Sen. (Prof.) Ekal from Turkana trying to cast aspersions on the credibility of the CIC Insurance Group Limited and UAP Insurance Company Limited. These are household names and they are known to be very liquid. However, it is sad for them to have run away from the poor farmers of Narok when they needed them most. Two, Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important that the legal framework of the Central Bank of Kenya Act be amended to put in place a clause where banks should consult their customers before the listing is done. This is important because these banks just rush names to the CRB. Third, Madam Temporary Speaker, the CRB charge of Kshs2,000 - as mentioned by Sen. Kajwang’ – is exorbitant. This charge should be a nominal fee like Kshs500. It is very interesting that university students have also faced a similar fate. They are listed when the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) forwards their names to the CRB. This is very unfortunate for the students because they cannot transact anything after that. Lastly and on a light touch, I hope that those who are seeking to marry will not be required to obtain a certificate of clearance."
