Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am concerned about the issue of creating Authorities. The Government is in the process of streamlining the existing Authorities. Even though the idea sounds good, creating another authority is a challenge with money implications.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose the amendment. I oppose it. I know my friend, Hon. Chepkong’a has said that this is for public use. If this amendment is passed, this particular law will be abused in future.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I thank my brother, Hon. Njomo for coming up with this Bill. The banking industry will try as much as possible to fight this Bill left, right and centre. As much as the banks like to say that Kenya is a free-market economy, where the law of demand and supply takes its course, the Kenyan people will never be the equilibrium for that law. As it has been said by earlier speakers, CBK has maintained its lending rate at 8 per cent. As the CBK reduces its rate, ...

This is the time that as a House we should cap the interest rate so that we save Kenyans. The ordinary Kenyan has suffered. So many people are suffering because they are unable to pay their loans and the banks are auctioning their property. These people are miserable. These people are looking up to this House to save them. I also want to comment on the issue of the maximum amount one can transact.

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I also rise to support the clause as amended. This amendment is very important because in as much as we want to say that these services should be available only in the capital city some areas are very far from the city. You can imagine someone from a place like Marsabit or Wajir travelling all the way to Nairobi. It is, indeed, far. However, if done progressively, it is going to be of benefit to the people of Kenya. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I listened to the first Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. My brother, Hon. Okoth, proposed his amendment prior to looking at what the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs had done. They replaced the term “legal aid” with the term “justice”. Now that they have done that, the proposal by Hon. Okoth does not hold any water. I oppose the amendment.
