So, the shareholders, depositors, the innocent and poor Kenyans who went and opened accounts are suffering because their money is there but they are unable to get it. These Kenyans have suffered a lot. So, the best compensation, although very late, is to open this bank. It has been expensive for the bank and shareholders to close the bank for over the last four years. They have incurred enormous losses and we cannot allow the bank to remain closed forever. We also cannot be dictated by an ambassador of a foreign country. The ambassador is not a central bank of ...
