    "content": "international exposure. We should have an experienced Kenyan leading such a centre. A bachelor’s degree is minimal and will not provide the kind of analytic rigour and exposure that is required for this position. We must have a person with a master’s degree or PhD occupying that position. I am most concerned with the idea of having a steering committee headed by the President and his deputy. I do not know why you would like the Head of State and his deputy to head a central institution. These are very busy people dealing with the affairs of the State as outlined in the Constitution. We should not burden the Head of State with the responsibility of heading a sectoral institution no matter how crucial the financial sector is. Already the President is the Chairman of the Economic and Social Council which is a supranational body that handles the macro-economic issues of this country. They might never get time to serve well in that steering committee. Secondly, they will not get an honest discussion. Who in this country will rise up before the President and tell him that he is leaning in a direction that is not supportive of the centre? Who would tell the President that he is not transparent or that he is supporting a firm that has problems?"
