Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this is a more appropriate time for me to talk about the freedom fighters, thinking about our Independence and our Independence heroes who graced Parliament Buildings and the Speaker’s Gallery in the National Assembly. As we pass this Bill, I want to make a passionate appeal to the President of this Republic to do what his predecessors were unable to do.

We have on record the Nairobi County where in the last five years they have been borrowing from commercial banks at exaggerated interest rates. It is important to stop the county governments from borrowing without reverting to the CBK. This is because in the first place it makes the county lazy and be unable to raise its own revenues.
