    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given the time shortage, I wish to be very brief. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in respect to the first question, the Statutory Manager will remain in the bank until we bring back confidence and safeguard the interests of the depositors. The faster we do that, the better. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o's question, there is absolutely no contradiction between the reports. The teams worked together. They found out there were issues that needed investigations. However, subsequently, the bank seemed to contradict the others. The bank said that, as far it is concerned, there was no issue. As I mentioned earlier, the other two agencies have been continuing with their investigations not just in the bank, but on all the people who are implicated. When those 1690 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 28, 2006 investigations are completed, appropriate action will be taken. The last question is inter-linked with Mr. Okemo's question. We take tax evasion very seriously. We will not allow anyone to escape from paying his or her fair share of taxes. Investigations are going on towards that direction. In terms of co-operating with the Finance Committee, I will be happy to do so with the understanding that the information will be kept confidential. We do not want to jeopardise on- going investigations."
