    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to reply. I thank all the colleagues who have contributed to this Motion on adoption of the report of the Committee on Finance and Budget on the nominee to Chair the CBK Board led by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale who seconded this Motion. I appreciate all the other Senators; Sen. Thang’wa, Sen. Olekina, Sen. Miraj, Sen. Nyamu, Sen. Wafula, Sen. Gataya Mo Fire, Sen. Chimera, Sen. Kisang’, Sen. Osostsi and finally Sen. Cherarkey. I have heard the concerns that you have raised. Mr. Musangi comes from a humble background which is an indication that anyone can hold any office in this country, it does not matter where you come from. He has 28 years’ experience in governance and leadership within different cooperate sectors that have had high value. This is a man who has built up his wealth. He is worth over Kshs1 billion. How he has grown his empire is great. Debate on the Motion have ranged from the economy, the currency and the dollar rate. I believe that Mr. Musangi working with other colleagues in CBK, the Governor and Madam Susan Koech the Deputy Governor, they will make changes and improve the economy of this country. They will advise accordingly on matters finance and the economy in this nation. I would like to finish by acknowledging that His Excellency the President has appointed a man who is competent, eloquent and understands his role. This is an indication that anybody from any region or tribe can hold a position in this country. It is also a clear indication that there are diverse opportunities in this country. We were keen to ask question on fraudulent bank withdrawals during the vetting process. The leadership of the CBK and the new Chairperson of the board will make sure that Kenyans’ money is safe. The issues we have seen on the fraudulent withdrawals will be dealt with and measures will be put. We have 42 banks in this country. They are more than enough. They should offer Kenyans what they need in terms of economic support and financial support for entrepreneurs. Mr. Speakers, I beg to reply."
