    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, under the Banking Act and under the Central Bank of Kenya Act, any person who reveals information of any customer to a party that is not authorized is liable to an offence. That is why when the KRA received this information they had to go an extra mile to carry out their own investigations. We are not encouraging bank officials or bank clerks to be taking bank balances. In fact, let me say that even if they did that, they are worthless. As I said, bank balance is not evidence of unpaid tax. That simply means that you have some money in the bank. That is all. It is up to the KRA to do an audit if they think that it is necessary to do so. We do not want bank officers and bank clerks to take information related to bank balances to the KRA because the Authority has its own method of assessing tax. In the case of Mr. Odhimbo, the fact that one had Kshs10 million or Kshs100 million, that was evidence of unpaid tax. We are saying that he was wrong and he should not have done this. I said that even the other time, as far as we know, this man is a conman. He has even sued the Kenya Government"
