    "content": "When the first amendments came to this House, they were thoroughly criticised. The banks assumed that since this Bill would finally be assented to by the Head of State, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, who is a serious businessman in this country with interest in banking, he would not assent to it. They were surprised when the President acted in the best interest of the majority of Kenyans. As soon as he signed the Bill into law, it was fought immediately. The petitioner was trying to come up with reasons why the petition should be admitted. He went on to say that there was a wide debate on this matter, and that it had elicited a lot of public interest. That is why finally the judge denied this young man costs in this matter and each party was advised to bear its own costs of this petition. If you look at it generally, you find that there was likelihood that if this petition went through at this date and these amendments were brought afresh, they would be defeated on the Floor of this House or suddenly the President would refer them back to the House, which complicates the matter."
