Is it in order for my good friend to mislead the House that the list of directors in CBK does not include anybody from Western Kenya and Nyanza? As we speak, the Chairperson of the Central Bank of Kenya Board of Directors comes from Nyanza. The Chairperson comes from Nyanza. So, it is wrong to mislead the country that the directorship is not a good representation of Kenya. I think the Member owes us an apology for misleading us.

I am very happy that we are about to finish the process so that they can work as CBK Board of Directors.
