Deputy Speaker, it was necessary for this House to pass a law to protect wananchi from the excessive interest rates charged by banks. Therefore, this law was debated for a long time in this House, there was a lot of public support and it was passed. Immediately it was passed, a gentleman by the name Mr. Owuor went to court in 2016. This case has been going on since then until last year when a ruling was made. Many prayers were done concerning this particular case, but the court found a few points which they requested this House to work on."}
