    "content": "public on the key issues highlighted in the statement requests. The advert is expected to run this week. Additionally, I wish to inform the House that the Committee has already held preliminary engagements with the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, being among the regulatory entities in the matter in question. However, it has not been able to meet the National Treasury owing to the fact that the leadership of the National Treasury has been held up with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission review sessions that have been on-going for the last two weeks, and they are scheduled to participate in the upcoming Annual World Bank- IMF meeting that is set to be held between 13th and 23rd April 2024 in Washington DC. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is seeking the indulgence of the House for more time to consider the matters raised in the statement requests. I have taken the initiative to also consult the three Hon. Members – the Hon. (CPA) Mayaka; the Hon. Munyoro, MP and Hon. Ruku, MP, on this matter. The Committee commits to report back to the House with a comprehensive report on the statement requests within the next 30 days. The three matters sought are very key and the Committee is taking them very seriously. That is why we are seeking an extension of a further 30 days. On a light note, these inquiries are serious and cannot be resolved by snipping, the way I saw a Hon. Senator snipping fertiliser to check its credibility. It requires serious meetings and deliberations among all the stakeholders. That is why we are asking for a further 30 days to provide a comprehensive report on the statement requests by the three Hon. Members. I beg to submit, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
