Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I also take this opportunity to thank Hon. Osotsi, my neighbour and the incoming Senator for Vihiga, for this very important Bill on regulation. First of all, I do not even know what happens in terms of training. I am an economist and we have a reference. Therefore, it is good for us to know the training reference. What do you do? What is the syllabus of the whole thing so that it can be registered? We have busybodies out there. As mentioned by those who have spoken before me, there ...

and we know he is registered in whatever premises. They are not. They can do anything to those who do not know. They can even cheat you and you will pay for that. We do not have standards such that when you go to see a doctor, you know that he is legally registered so that, when he or she charges you, he or she does so according to the standards. They will not overcharge or undercharge you because they are not just bogus people on the street. This Bill is long overdue. I thank Hon. Osotsi for coming up ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have just given me the opportunity at the right time. I want to take this opportunity to thank my friend and my neighbour, Hon. Benjamin Washiali for coming up with this Bill. When you bring a Bill of such nature it always come from the fact that you have been affected by it somehow. Hon. Washiali must have been affected that is why he came up with this very good Bill. Hon. Washiali, we still need you. I know I am coming back, Inshallah ! I hope you will be here so that I can ...

Hon. Washiali has come up with a very good Bill. The motive behind this Bill is very good and I have taken note of what he has said. This insurance practise is not regulated. We therefore want to have standards in this particular profession like it is the case in any other profession. As I said in the morning, I am an economist. I got affected in my area, and for that reason I have asked questions regarding that. Hon. Washiali, please let us move on. I know you want us to have standards in this sector and you want ...

If a doctor has opened a clinic and you have a problem, he will attend to you professionally and assist you. Unfortunately, the insurance sector has not been done professionally. What I want to ask you is to have the insurance institute so that we have people coming up with certificates that are displayable. Certificates that can show that one has gone through a particular institute that is offering a degree, a diploma or certificate so that you can display some professionalism.

This is very good. This Bill meets all the requirements. We have problems of unemployment in this country. This will be able to create jobs for our youths who have qualified with certificates or diplomas or even degrees in this sector. So, job creation will be there in case this Bill will be passed into law.

The other thing that was suggested by Hon. Washiali is that we will have that institution. We have Technical Training Institutes (TTIs). I am setting one in Trans-Nzoia and I will have people coming in from all over. Once you offer this course, it will bring students from all over the country. We will be promoting the economic activities of the area. Therefore, we will have this course offered in one of the TTIs that are coming up in the country so that we can have graduates with qualifications in insurance.

The other thing is what the insurance refers to as misconduct. It is bad. Sometimes back, I had an incident where my driver had an accident. I was taken round and round to a point that I thought my driver was having a deal with the insurance. I decided to get involved. Up to date, about seven years down the line, I have not been compensated. The reason being misconduct. There is nowhere you can take them. The only place you can take them is the court. Some of them have perfected the actions and movements you cannot be able ...
