Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Banks are very important to Kenyans. For economic activities to prosper or for this country to develop economically, cheap credit must be available for people to conduct their businesses. If you look at the trend in this country for the last 10 years, you will find that it is only in the banking industry where losses are never made. Any other businesses make losses once in a while.

I also oppose the amendment. Friday will not be an ideal day. I would like to agree with Hon. Dawood.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party has alluded that Hon. Millie is leading a serious caucus. I am seated next to her and I do not want to be associated with a “caucus of moles”.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I would like to congratulate the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. He has done a great job in this 11th Parliament. He has brought many Bills which are of great importance to our country. They are Bills like the one that has just been passed and the Companies Bill. Those are Bills that are going to make this country prosper. Those are the kind of Bills that are going to attract investors to this country because they will be sure of their businesses. The businesses are ...
