    "content": " Hon. Senators, I have a communication to make on the meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget with the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). As you may be aware, on the 10th of February 2016, the Senate Minority Leader sought a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding the continued editions by the CBK of currency bearing portraits of individuals in contravention of the Constitution of Kenya. On Wednesday, 24th February 2016, the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget issued a response on the matter. However, the response was not satisfactory going by the number of interventions raised by the Senators. I, therefore, directed the Committee to convene a meeting for all interested Senators and invite the Governor of the CBK to respond to the issues raised. Hon. Senators, I wish to inform you that the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget has convened a meeting of all the Senators to deliberate on the matter. The Governor of the CBK, Dr. Patrick Njoroge has confirmed his attendance. The meeting will be held tomorrow, Thursday, 3rd March 2016 in the Senate Chamber, Main Parliament Building starting 10.00 a.m. I urge all hon. Senators to attend. VISITING DELEGATION OF STAFF AND STUDENTS FROM TANGAZA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Hon. Senators, I would like to acknowledge the presence in the Speaker’s Gallery this afternoon of visiting staff and students from Tangaza University College. The delegation is here on a benchmarking visit and attachment. I request the delegation to stand so that we acknowledge them in the Senate tradition."
