Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just one statement. There has been fear amongst some professionals to apply for Government jobs that need parliamentary approval because of the experiences that we have seen in the past. People are not aware of what they are expected to do when they come or what, in fact, ought to be expected when they apply for these jobs.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, may it now be known that, with the passing of this Bill, all those good Kenyans who are qualified can apply for jobs that require parliamentary approval, and that they only need to look at what this Act says regarding what is required of them. They need not fear what questions might be put to them, so long as they are qualified. You need to apply, look at what is required of you in terms of qualifications and things like those and you will be fine, and this country will have the best.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I stand to support the Minister who has moved the Finance Bill. In particular, I just want to raise two quick points with the Minister.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very happy that I am seeing the Minister put into use the Information and Communication Technology in as far as registration of motor vehicles is concerned.

My worry is this bit of the recognition of self-regulatory organization. The Minister for Finance needs to tell us more. After the Stock Exchange started, we have gone step by step. In fact, I am very happy that you have made some changes. You are proposing delegation of functions to a committee of the board, a recognized self- regulatory organization and to an authorized person. You are also saying that the same authority can take away that delegation any time. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my worry is the futures market that we want to introduce now. We are introducing it ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think that is the way to go. We have gone step by step, but there these other guys who are coming in, and saying: “Let us start the futures market and then leave us alone to regulate it”. This, to me, sounds very suspicious. I think there is someone, or some group that wants to do something and they are coming in and probably they have managed to convince the Minister that probably we need to operate like this, or in a certain way; then after that we give them the power and then the ...
