• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, we recognise that as late as June, there were people who were still paying for their road licences, including myself. I could not refuse to pay without letting the cat out of the bag. I paid for a road licence for my car knowing very well that the road licence was to be scrapped. I did that knowing that there were many Kenyans like me who would be caught in it. We consulted and there is a provision for refund if people so insist by offsetting that against their tax. However, the spirit we are getting is ... view

• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. But before I do that, I would like to thank Members for their contributions and the support they have given the policies which the Government proposes to implement during the next financial year.

• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the House, to clarify certain matters relating to Charterhouse Bank as a result of documents that were laid on the Table of this House by an hon. Member, and the subsequent allegations that have been made. The media reports and the different statements that have been made about Charterhouse Bank have created the impression that (a) The charges facing the former Governor of Central Bank of Kenya, Dr. Andrew Mullei, are as a result of his efforts to bring to a halt tax evasion, money laundering and other related offences by ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start by requesting hon. Members to weigh any allegations that are made in this House. That is because the banks are not here to defend themselves. The allegations that we make here have a wider effect and impact not just on those banks that people want to settle scores with, but on small depositors who cannot access their money at Charterhouse Bank. All the banks in this country are meticulously regulated by CBK. We are constantly monitoring each and every bank to identify any bank that may be involved in any unusual activities. I ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was with a heavy heart that I gave the approval to appoint a Statutory Manager for a bank that does not have any liquidity problems. The impact is that people who have their money there, including business people, are now disabled from accessing their money because of careless allegations that were made in this House by an hon. Member about the bank. That is why I am saying that, when we come to this House, we should know that we have a responsibility to carry. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why I appointed a Statutory Manager was purely to protect the run on the bank, which was caused by the allegations that were made here and to safeguard the customer's deposits. view

• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first instance, those documents were only available to two people. There is my copy and what was with Dr. Mullei. My copy is safely in my safe. We know who leaked the other copy, contrary to Section 17 of Cap.491. view
