Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think hon. A.B. Duale was trying to play around with my position here. I just want to tell my friend, hon. Abongotum that I am not reading word for word. I am only referring to my written notes. I do not want to deviate from the subject or dwell on other irrelevancies. I want to go directly to what I was saying.

I am being reminded that it is in two years to come. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenya stands to benefit if we put our act together. As has been alluded to by another hon. Member, the time when people started financial institutions, collapsed them after getting public resources and were never prosecuted, will come to an end once this Bill is enacted into law. I want to commend the Committee for a job well done. The only amendment that I want us to include is on the penalties. They appear to be very small. The sums of Kshs500,000 or Kshs1 ...

Hon. Speaker, I want to conclude by saying that in previous appointments, leave alone the Taita issue, we never saw the face of Kenya. For the first time, out of the 25 nominees, at least the President has attempted to touch on every region. I am sure next time more areas will be reached, including Taita area. That is why I support the Committee’s work; this is a good job. I congratulate the President and support these appointments. Thank you, hon. Speaker.
