Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker; I stand to oppose the Motion. This is a great day because the Jubilee Coalition has realized that we have the numbers on our side. This is a constitutional amendment; they will need a two-thirds majority; we denied them and I am very happy. That is why I remained behind when my colleagues went out, just to register in the HANASRD that this House must develop a bi- partisan approach to issues, if we are to go far and with serious legislation. This practice of the Leader of Majority Party subjecting everything to ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker; it is only that two minutes were wasted by the hon. Member for Kibra on issues that are not related to this Bill. He needs to read the Standing Orders. It is true that the children have problems but this is not the right time to talk about them. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Bill since it is going to make changes in the financial sector of this country. If there is a segment of the financial sector that is mysterious in this country, it is the securities exchange. It ...

To continue with my contribution, a securities exchange is a place where people can develop their lives financially. People think that investing in land in this country is the main thing. If people had diverted their attention from land and invested in securities, they would have done much better than the way it is today in this country. It is the duty of the Government to teach its citizens on investment destinations. It is up to the Government to teach the citizens that the securities exchange is a good place to invest, and that it is a place which can ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I rise to support the Motion for the extension of time, so that the line Ministries can get enough time to prepare itself to operationalize the Act. It is imperative to note that the Act means well for this country in general. As you are aware, we are coming from a scenario where every item is under a board. Today you start something, they form a board of directors for it. These were just avenues to create jobs for cronies. You can ask yourself what the Pyrethrum Board or the Sisal Board ...
