    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Minister for answering part “a” of the Question. However, I am slightly concerned because of the evasiveness and avoiding to answer part “b” of the Question. Part “b” of the Question is very specific. It asks: Is the Central Bank of Kenya, in the performance of its statutory duties, legally required to investigate tax evasion? That is direct. The Minister has not responded to that. Secondly, is it in any way mandated to obtain information pertaining to various bank accounts and to compare them or to carry out analysis relating to tax? That is what the Minister should be answering, but he has avoided this. Thirdly, the section he has quoted, that is Section 31(3)(a), was amended to include the matter relating to tax and investigation agencies under Act 8 of 2009. Could the Minister confirm whether the CBK shared any information with the KRA prior to 2009 and after 2009, and if at all it did, could he then provide the nature of the information and the findings of the investigations?"
