• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the import of this clause was to help our youth and our agents to fit within a liberalized economy.

• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, again, just for the record, the import of this is to improve the governance of our CBK. Right now, we are having problems because of the Acting Governor not being sure whether she can chair a meeting even to discuss herself.

Just for the record I would like to say that Kenya was joining the nations of the world that have developed, including the latest, New Zealand, where they have exactly the same kind of ... view
