"content": "The Deputy Speaker corrected me. In conclusion, I want to say something regarding the commercial bank accounts that counties are allowed to open and operate. I am happy that the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations is looking into the matter. I do not know if the County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee is also looking at that matter. Why would somebody allow Tana River County to operate 34 commercial bank accounts without supervision? What is the role of the Central Bank of Kenya Board? Kakamega County has 200 commercial bank accounts. What is the role of Central Bank of Kenya Board under Section 10 of the CBK Act Cap 491, Laws of Kenya? It is oversight that is provided under Section 10 of the Central Bank Act. My third point is on the issue of Governor’s performance. We have been told that the inflation rate is looking better and the same applies to the economy and the exchange rate. For the first time, the Dollar has stabilized against the Shilling, at Kshs130. We thank President Ruto’s Government for this financial management. We also appreciate him for ensuring that the Governor has the option of performance. The work of the Central Bank of Kenya Board is now cut out. We want to challenge David Simpson Osawa Owuor, Madam Beatrice Kosgei, CPA Abdullahi Mohamed Abdi and FCPA Sophie Moturi to rise up to the occasion under the chairmanship of the Board of the Central Bank of Kenya. We want our banks to do business, but not to profiteer or exploit Kenyans who are doing business, especially the SMEs. It is for this reason that we have the success story of the Hustler Fund. We want to ask the Board as it sets in to ensure that the conditions of loan borrowing by the small businesses and startup businesses are conducive. They should even encourage tax holidays for the small kiosk businesses in Kirinyaga Road, Nairobi. The same should apply to the small businesses in Namgoi in Nandi County and the small businesses in Mombasa or Majengo in Vihiga County. If they do, then the young man or woman who doe not have collateral security like the title deed or logbook, can walk into a commercial bank and get fair conditions of loan, and be able to start up a business and build a serious empire in this country."

"content": "Kwanza, ninapongeza Kamati hii pamoja na ile ya Bunge la Kitaifa kwa kumaliza zoezi hili la kuwapiga msasa wale wateule wanne wa nyadhifa hizo. Mhe. Spika, inasikitisha kwamba ijapo kuwa uteuzi wa wakurugenzi wa bodi ni muhimu sana, jukumu la Bunge ni ndogo sana. Jukumu la Bunge ni kupitisha yale majina yaliyofanyiwa uchunguzi na taasisi zingine. Hata kama Bunge lingependekeza kwamba kuna mtu aliyeteuliwa ambaye hafai katika nyadhifa fulani, halikuwa na uwezo wa kufanya hivyo. Kuna haja ya kurekebisha sheria ili pia sisi tuwe na uwezo wa kukataa wale wanaoteuliwa. Kuna wengine hawafai kuwa katika wadhifa huo, lakini kwa sababu mikono yetu imefungwa, hatuwezi kutoa mapendekezo yoyote kuhusu wale walioteuliwa na majina yao kuwasilishwa Bungeni."

"content": "Katika uteuzi ule, yule kijana wa mwisho alinifurahisha na maelezo yake ya mambo aliyoweza kuyafanya kwa ule muda ameweza kuhudumu katika nyadhifa tofauti katika nchi za kigeni pia. Amependekeza mambo muhimu kuhusu masuala ya fedha. Sasa hivi, kuna suala ibuka la crypto currency. Masuala kama haya ni muhimu na inafaa wakurugenzi wa Benki Kuu ya Kenya wawe na ufahamu na uwezo wa kuyafafanua na kutoa mwongozo kwa taifa kuyahusu. Kuweka mtu yoyote anayetafuta kazi kama tunavyoona kwa tume nyingine inapelekekea kulemaa kwa tume nyingi. Kwa mfano, Kenya National Human Rights Commission na National Gender Equality Commission zimelemaa kwa sababu ya kuweka makamishina ambao hawajui kazi zao vizuri. Nimefurahi kwamba kumepata mwanachama wa bodi ya kitaifa. Tunatarajia kwamba wale wengine watakaochaguliwa kwa siku za usoni watakuwa ni watu wenye tajriba ya kuwezesha kusaidia bodi hizi na kusaidia nchi kuweka misingi thabiti ya masuala ya fedha katika nchi yetu. Asante kwa kunipa fursa hii."
