My Question, especially part “b” is very specific: “Has any bank violated the said sections of the Act, the CBK Guidelines/Regulations from 1990 to 2012, and give a full list of the banks and dates when they violated them?

• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am very obliged for the opportunity. I will be very brief. The Minister has quoted a provision of Section 32 of the Act.
