    "content": "risen because the value of the Kenya shilling to US Dollar had shot up from Kshs82 to Kshs107. The Kenya shilling has now come down. The other issue has to do with the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). When the value of the Kenya shilling to the US Dollar rose from Kshs82 to Kshs107, the Governor said that it would take six months for the value of the Kenya shilling to come down. I sit in a Committee that is presently looking at the Kenya shilling. You wait until you hear what everybody has said. The finger is pointing to one direction. We have an issue with the Governor. Today, it is barely six weeks and the value of the Kenya shilling has come down to about Kshs89. What happened to the six months? The fact that today we may be supporting this Motion does not mean that we have changed our position. The Government must put its House in order, failure to which it will be difficult for it to survive to the full term. What is happening? Government corporations are being sold through the back door. How come East Africa Portland Cement Company, a State Corporation formed through an Act of Parliament has gone private without the approval of Government and of this House? How could that happen? With those few remarks, I support."
