    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am not taking the House for a lapse. There are two issues which I want to clarify. I think an issue has been raised that the Chairman will be appointed by the President, who might then lead to an erosion of the independence. I wanted, first of all, to prevent this House from casting aspersions on the President. That, by the President appointing the Chairman, that is going to lead to the erosion of the independence of the Central Bank of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Deputy Governor and five members of the Board are all appointed by the President. The Minister for Finance is also appointed by the President. The Permanent Secretary, Treasury, is appointed by the President. The fact that all those Presidential appointees currently sit and work with the Cental Bank of Kenya has not eroded its independence. I just wanted, first of all, to clarify that, that is not the issue!"
