No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Sakaja does not know that Hon. Njomo was my student at university. His name is Jude. It depends on your pronunciation. He was a good student and, indeed, he is doing a good work. I thank him for bringing this Bill. What has been going on in the banking industry is like robbery with violence.

On that note, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the education system has been liberalised. Of course, he is older than me, but we have evening programmes. Even you can go back to school. I have been teaching people who are agemates of my grandfather. It has nothing to do with age because we have a liberalised education system. For those looking for degrees, we have evening programmes. The issue of the banking industry in this country is very alarming. The banking industry is very critical for the success of any economy. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is the regulator of ...

Hon. Sakaja, I want you to listen. Jubilee has borrowed too much from the Manifesto of CORD. If you look at that Manifesto, you will find that Jubilee just duplicated; it was cut and paste. Our first manifesto was on jobs.

I am extending my argument. When it comes to jobs you can only create them when there is a conducive business environment. You do not have to go for formal jobs. If at all the banks are going to lend money to the youth, to start businesses in that process they are going to employ other people, hence create jobs. We are told that the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is doing badly in tax collection. Why? This is because the business environment is not conducive. I am a leader and you should add me more time.

Many businesses are collapsing and making losses and as such they cannot pay taxes. It is important that the cost of capital be reduced so that it can make sense when it comes to doing business. I want to congratulate Joe Donde on the Bill he brought to the Floor of this House sometime back. We must follow suit so that whatever Hon. Njomo has proposed, moves with speed. I want to request His Excellency the President though I know he has businesses in the banking sector that if this Bill is passed, he should assent to it with speed ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is with regard to the Political Parties Fund. Its objective is to help political parties in terms of adhering to the democratic principles. The threshold has been high in the past. This amendment is to reduce the threshold. I have consulted with Hon. Injendi, who is the party leader of the Maendeleo Democratic Party. He has expressed his concern and we are working together. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 1 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (b) by deleting the proposed new paragraph (c) and substituting therefor ...
