    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have to save this country. What the Minister has read and what the Governor of CBK is purporting to do, is against the Freedom of Information Act; it is against the Constitution. It even violates the mandate of Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have sat in the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee for the last 10 years. The very same CBK Governor who is still in office now - I believe more or less illegally - has provided constantly that information to the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee which is Parliament. When we began investigating Charterhouse Bank, he gave us a list of banks which had committed the same violations and had been fined Kshs1 million and they were continuing to function. That is why the Charterhouse Bank saga is a mystery to many of us. Mr.Speaker, Sir, I want to urge you not to let the Minister set a bad precedent. I want to urge you to force the Governor and the Minister to provide that information to this House within the next few hours because that information belongs to us and that information cannot be hidden from the people’s watchdog."
