    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose this Report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oppose this Report because the De La Rue issue is a Government issue and not individuals. It was not an issue of Kimunya, Uhuru Kenyatta, the late Michuki or any other Minister. This is an issue which was arrived at because, as you know, printing of notes is not printing newspapers or making some burgers. This is a security issue and when you discuss the question of cost, you cannot impute when somebody is doing his job in good faith and cancelling a contract because of issues which are to do with work. There is no proof or insinuation even in the Report that either Kimunya or the Governor of Central Bank misappropriated funds. What we are saying is just a perceived loss that the country would have gained if the new generation notes were printed. The Report also says that there was some evidence to show that the deliveries were to be made in batches. I do not have that particular information, but the information that I have is that the printing of these notes in Malta was because the economy of scale was to be achieved by printing all the notes for the three-year contract."
