• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 74. view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, from my earlier remarks and from contributions by the various Members of the House, the Central Bank of Kenya Act is a very important act. I think the general spirit of reforms in the banking sector has been that the Central Bank of Kenya must be autonomous. It must be completely independent of the Ministry of Finance. We have said that any amendments or reviews to the Central Bank of Kenya Act should be looked at on their own. That is by looking at the principal Act. If you look at these amendments, you will ... view
