not. So, I want to tell my colleagues that nothing has been lost because on Tuesday from 10.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. as we wait for the Committee that is chaired by hon. Speaker to look at the Communication, the Committee on Energy, Communication and Information can interrogate questions related to that field, the Committee on Education, Research and Technology can interrogate on questions related to education sector and the same case can apply to the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing.

On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I do not want to interrupt my colleague and partner on the other side for many reasons including age and friendship. But he is making serious allegations that we are ceding ground. Where is the ground? Where is the sea? There is no ground we are ceding or the sea. You made a good Communication and you gave the way forward that the Procedure and House Rules Committee will look into the Communication. The Chairs are as competent as the Speaker. The membership is as competent as the membership of this House. So, ...

to and including the little known securities market. For that reason, this is a very important legislation. Perhaps, it is one of the best legislations that this House has passed. It will, indeed, add a lot of value to our economy and to the lives of Kenyans and secure our investment and the investment of those who have confidence in our economy. We want to attract as many investors as possible out there. For those reasons, I support this Bill.

Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to contribute to the Securities and Investment Analysts Bill, 2014. I want to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, hon. Benjamin Langat, for bringing this Bill. The principal purpose of this Bill is to provide for the establishment of the powers and the functions of a new professional body to be known as the Institute of Certified Securities and Investment Analysts.

and empirical evidence. They offer financial decisions and advise on various investment transactions. They will advise on accounts and records and, above all, they do verification and certification of investment securities. There is something in this Bill that for one to practice and to be a member of that professional body, he or she must pass a final certified security investment analyst examination. So, those guys with big offices in Nairobi and nice suits, please, know that you still cannot join this profession unless you go to school. It is only in Parliament – that is Senate and National Assembly ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was talking about before you joined the House. Hon. Gumbo and I said that we need to pass a law that will require a Member to have the basic education to read a Bill. You do not need to go and do research. If you look at the backside of any Bill, there is an element written “Memorandum of Objects and Reasons.” If you go to schools that teach good English and you are as sharp or intelligent as the hon. Member for Ndhiwa, then you can read and contribute to a Bill.

In the last Parliament, the majority of the people who opposed us--- We had very many Members who had never gone to school. In fact, that Bill helped us identify Cabinet Ministers who had never seen an inside of a high school. I am sure Mzee Kibaki looked at his Cabinet and asked: “What is happening?” The former Prime Minister had his share in the Cabinet of people who had never gone to school!

Yes! It affected both of them! You know, honourable Leader of the Minority Party, you were not in the House. It is only hon. Gumbo and hon. Kamama who can challenge me because they were there. A time will come when we must create a serious professional body and set the bar very high for the leadership. This House cannot pay tribute to Prof. Ali Mazrui! How does Prof. Ali Mazrui inspire you? He must inspire you because of his academic excellence. I will have many amendments and the Chair will have to tell us what made him wake up ...
