• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are two categories of transfers. There are transfers of new vehicles which have come into the country, but there are also transfers of those vehicles which are mortgaged to some financial institutions and the transfers are made after the owner has cleared with the financial house.

• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: have 4,598 cases still pending. On average, in a year, we process about 6,814 logbooks. With the automation, we are sure that we are going to clear the backlog which has been there. view

• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I am not aware of any time that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) could have granted the US Government full and unfettered access to physical and research data records of commercial banks or any other institution that falls under its regulatory and supervisory jurisdiction. view

I really have no information that information was downloaded to USAID. The information I have from the CBK is that, that study by the USAID was never funded and, therefore, there was no such information given to unauthorized people. view
