"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the question that was asked with regard to the lease agreement. I believe I did say that there is lease to De La Rue Currency and Security Print Limited. Earlier I said that this is the company that was incorporated in Kenya in 1992 by De La Rue PLC of the United Kingdom to operate currency and security printing business in Kenya. I went on to say that following the restructuring of the De La Rue Group, the De La Rue Currency and Security Print Limited is now 100 per cent owned subsidiary of Thomas De La Rue AG, which in turn is owned by De La Rue PLC of the United Kingdom."

"content": "As to who actually signed the lease--- I have seen the lease. I want to see if there is any issue pertaining to any irregularities as the hon. Member claims. I do not believe so, because it is also signed by the PLC themselves, maybe, when they were initially starting the company itself. However, I am more than willing to look into it to see if there is any deviation. But I did say that all the assets, including the lease are to be transferred to the entity that has been hived off by Thomas De La Rue, which is the entity that the Government will be entering into partnership with or shareholding of 40 per cent. That is the entity that is now being referred to as De La Rue Kenya EPZ Limited."

It is 40 per cent of that, that the Government was going to acquire at a value approximately 5 million UK Pounds, approximately Kshs700 million."
