    "content": " Hon. Speaker, since you have called me without my asking, I think I should only be kind enough to answer. I am the Member for Emgwen. I am Alex Kosgey. It is not Tinderet. That is my colleague, Mhe. Melly. On this issue, let me just say that I support what everybody has said today. What the CBK has done is not in line with normal laws and regulations. They are actually making businesses suffer. They are making it very hard for people to transact and do business. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning should take the CBK Governor to task and ask him what he intends to do with this country and how he intends to move business forward. Mhe. Olago Aluoch said quite correctly that 90 per cent of Kenyans are suffering just because he is trying to look for 10 per cent of the people. It is possible to track the 10 per cent without making everybody suffer. If there is a criminal driving on the road, the way to have the issue addressed is to have the police figure out who the criminal is and deal with that particular person and not to set up a roadblock and subject every single car to a complete search because that creates a big traffic jam. That is what is currently happening with the CBK and businesses. So, I really support the comments that have been made here and I look forward to what the committee will do. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
