"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Kimunya, I thank you for that reiteration. You have simply reiterated what I said, that the US$25 million was simply a deposit of the US$51 million that Thomas De La Rue won when they went for the international tender. He is also right in saying that I should have audited those accounts. However, my frustration is this; when I attempted to interrogate the accounts of the Central Bank of Kenya, through a letter written by the Clerk of the National Assembly that a special audit be done on this thing, I got a letter of rejection that Parliament had no power to audit Central Bank of Kenya, and the Minster knows it. I tabled that letter here. So, I am frustrated in the sense that many years from now, I might be accused of having connived with these people while I was the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. I am laying it on the Table and he will do us a great deal if he went and told the Cabinet to allow Parliament to interrogate the Central Bank of Kenya."

However, the value of this company is 8,697,000 UK Pounds. Now, 40 per cent of this would be 3,478,800. So, the difference between the 5,000 UK Pounds and the actual 40 per cent on the calculated value of the company is money which is over and above, which is going to people who only God knows. In the absence of God, probably, the Minister would do well to tell us who is pocketing this money."

I am aware it will only print currency for this country alone. All the countries in the region which used to have their currency printed here by this company, have already discontinued and have already engaged other ventures. So, could he table before this Parliament the feasibility study carried out by the Government of Kenya to determine viability of this venture? Could he also indicate to us whether there will be an approval sought from Parliament before the Government finally invests our money in this venture?"

Could the Minister reiterate his commitments which he gave to this House that before this deal goes on, he will bring for scrutiny the negotiations between this shadowy company and the Government of Kenya, so that this Parliament can be satisfied? Also, could he be kind enough to tell us this afternoon, how much more would cost the Government, if these notes were printed outside the country? Also tell us whether De La Rue company which we are so busy trying to invest in, could actually print third generation notes, which are tamper proof, which the Government has been trying to do for so many years?"

The last time the Minister spoke on this issue here, he indicated that, after promulgation of the new Constitution no new money was being printed. He indicated that the contract with De La Rue had not been completed. I would like him to confirm that there are no new notes being printed. As far as I know, when you go to the bank, you get new currency freshly minted still with a portrait. That is not what the Constitution clearly indicates. Could he tell us why we still get new bank notes? Who is printing them? How is that happening when he says the contract has not been signed?"
