    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also second the Minister and will speak only to the issues that he has spoken about that have become evident in our work in this House: Evident because many times when we have been forced, as a House or Committees, to deal with the CBK, we have been at pains to know who to hold accountable for policy issues and who to hold accountable for implementation issues. The Governor has been and continues - until now that we have brought this amendment - to be “it”, “end of it” and “all of it” in the CBK. What the Minister is doing is simply separating roles; roles that have become blurred in the work of the CBK and that have affected the way the CBK is viewed, not only by Kenyans but also by the House. Therefore, the chairperson of the CBK will not only remove this baggage from the Governor of the CBK but the Governor of the CBK will now have clear lines of communication between the Ministry of Finance and the CBK because we have made clear the professional qualifications and what is expected of him or her; where there will be no issue of interference with the work of the same because this role now gives us the clear policy guideline on how to communicate with the CBK. That is why this Motion is important for the way we move forward but most importantly for the confidence that we will continue to have with the CBK. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
