    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Members who have sought clarification. I wish to respond as follows. Dr. Khalwale wants to know about the money that has been paid with regard to this transaction. He wants to know whether it was wired through a New York bank account, and to where. I am sure he was referring to the 10 per cent deposit. What I would like to inform him is that in international financial transactions, there are usually routings that are done. Money can originate straight from a bank account via New York to Kenya. This is not something very unusual. What we should be concerned with here is the substance. The information I have is that the 10 per cent deposit was finally received by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). The 90 per cent of the money was transferred to the lawyers' account, but has not been remitted to the CBK. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Dr. Khalwale also asked about cheques which had been paid with regard to these transactions. I do not know what other cheques he may be referring to. With regard to this transaction, there were just two lumpsum payments, that is, the 10 per cent deposit and the 90 per cent balance payment. That is the situation as I have explained. Mr. Kimunya had said that he would not go alone, and that he would rather die than go, but he has gone alone."
