    "content": "Can the Minister confirm that De La Rue, a British Company, has been awarded a 10-year monopoly for printing Kenyan currency notes without being subjected to competitive international tendering? Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I bring it to your attention that this matter had actually been concluded. The reason for it being on the Order Paper is that the Minister made an undertaking that he would appear before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), so that this matter could be dealt with. We have been unable to invite the Minister, willing as he is to appear before us, because I tabled a letter in the House written by the then Controller and Audit-General, which said that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) could not be audited. My Committee is unable to interrogate the Minister in the absence of a special audit on the CBK. So, if you rule on that letter, then we will be guided whether or not under the law we can audit the CBK. We could ask for a special audit at the end of which we would invite the Minister. I request that you make that ruling either now or when you will be ready."
