    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your informed ruling on the question by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. What we are tackling here is mind boggling. If there are no laws governing the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) as I speak today, then the information that we are getting is that for all the transactions that have been done for the last three years are a nulity. I appeal to the CBK management; the Governor, the Chairman, who is an eminent lawyer and the legal team to “have all systems go” - because that is the main body governing financial transactions in this country. They must urgently go and consult the Constitution and advice. A few months ago, the Attorney General of Kenya told Kenyans that he is a “mortician” and by saying that word, he has abdicated his role of advising the Government of Kenya. These are issues that need to be addressed. The beauty of it all is that this House has the tyranny of brains against the tyranny of numbers that we have seen in other places. Kenyans are watching and when history is written, this House, under your leadership, will be on the right part of history. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
