    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. When I was standing on a point of order, I was only correcting the slip of the tongue of the Leader of the Majority Party. Otherwise, what has been raised by Hon. Junet here is very important. In the last session, that issue was actually resolved by our Committee by amending the law so that whatever CBK is doing is legalised. As we speak, what the CBK Governor has done is to commit an illegality. Even if you take somebody to court now that he has committed some irregularity in the banking sector or he has paid somebody without that person filing some forms, that person will not be jailed because those regulations do not have the force of the law. They have never come to this Parliament to be legalised through the Committee on Delegated Legislation. Let the banks listen through the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA). The regulations and those memos that the Central Bank of Kenya is issuing are illegal. Any court in this country cannot use them to arrest anybody on illegality. The bank managers are being harassed without a law."
