    "content": "Having heard the text that has been read to us by the Committee, it seems that it is now bearable. They can now start from there and see how to improve it. I also think that to criminalise commercial transactions is not the way. One has to get a more proactive approach to get people to do business and make it easy for them. I have a comment. I have looked at Clause 10. We need to look at these underwriters because I had an opportunity to look at many of the contracts which are being given by county governments. They specifically say that it is only limited to underwriters. That is a source of corruption. They want to limit it to underwriters as though they are brokers. This is the problem that we have because the national Government or county government is the only market where people trade. When few underwriters have conspired and they want to limit the practice of insurance to only underwriters, it means that they want to do the things they want and set prices the way they want. This is not right. If you look at the insurance companies, you see all of them are foreign owned. What we have here is a conspiracy of some international contractors to kill what is indigenous, which are the brokerage agencies."
