    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Board of the Central Bank of Kenya and the nominees to the Board play a very important role in this country. In supporting the nominations of the Board members, it is important to note that the Board of the Bank, chaired by Senior Advocate Andrew Musangi, makes determination on key issues that affect this country. It is important that this afternoon, the Senate has indeed made the approval. The threshold of integrity and stature that was considered by the Committee is important in all these approvals. I think that the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget that sat to hear the members and consider all memoranda has done a good job. This is how committees should work. When there are Kenyans who apply to positions of influence and national nature such as that of the Board of the Central Bank, we should ensure that individuals nominated are those with stature; not those that will bend the rules in making approvals as required by the mandate of the institution"
