    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. As hon. Members will be aware, there was an interruption, but I contributed to the points of order that were there. I have been waiting patiently to contribute to this Motion, which was brought before the House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to, first of all, react to the subject matter of this Motion. One, it is stated in the Motion that the Central Bank of Kenya has just been maintaining “a watch and see attitude.” In other words, it has no control over the currency slip and the interventions by the Treasury have not succeeded. I want to confirm to this House that, indeed, the Central Bank of Kenya, which has been mandated by this House through the Central Bank of Kenya Act, has not adopted a watch and see attitude. We have seen actions almost on a weekly basis in terms of what needs to be done through the Monetary Policy Committee, and the matter is actually being addressed."
