On this aspect, I am throwing a challenge to the Senate. I have no problem with economic blocs because people come together to do business. Adjacent counties can do things together and maybe harmonise taxation. But, setting up a bank is saying what? Is the bank going to be a regional or national bank? Is it going to have branches? Of what benefit will it be? I am asking the Senate if they are listening to me, they should interrogate this aspect of starting a bank in the Lake Region bloc, so that we can know how it will help us and my people of Likuyani Constituency."}
