He was in charge of Barclays Bank International for three quarters of Africa. That is the picture of the administration that hon. Uhuru Kenyatta leads. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we want to thank the President for walking the talk on devolution. Today, devolution is a reality in Kenya. Despite Article 203(2) that talks about 15 per cent minimum, the Jubilee Administration under President Uhuru Kenyatta has allocated more than double of that percentage - 32 per cent. More so, despite Article The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
