    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the printing of notes is a security matter. In many countries, the governments actually manufacture their own notes 100 per cent. We are not negotiating with De La Rue so that they can continue forever. We are partially in De La Rue but our view is to eventually take over the printing of our notes ourselves. When we do that, we are not going to confine ourselves to the expensive printing of the west. We are going to continue to compare the prices being offered by De La Rue with other governments or companies which produce notes in bulk. I also want to say that when the tender for printing new generation notes was cancelled, it had been floated internationally. When it was floated internationally, De La Rue came out to say that they are the cheapest of all the countries who bidded. Maybe the countries he is talking about never even bidded when Kenya floated the international tender. So, we are not going to stick to expensive printing of notes. We want to do it as quickly as possible and compare with other countries printing notes."
