    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the various allegations that have been made, some of them which are coming from outside the Government and even from foreign governments have not been substantiated up to today. If you talk about the violation of the Banking Act and tax evasion, the various relevant Government institutions that are responsible have appeared before our Committee and all of them, in very clear terms, have absolved the Charterhouse Bank Limited. They all stated that the customers of the Charterhouse Bank Limited, even if they have issues concerning the allegations, that cannot stop the bank from being reopened and carrying out its normal banking functions. Indeed, today, we are hearing many allegations regarding drug trafficking. These alleged drug dealers have bank accounts. The bank accounts are in banks which exist and that are operating today. Are we, therefore, suggesting that because of these allegations, we should go ahead and close all the banks in Kenya?"
