Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I confirm that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) appointed a statutory manager for Charterhouse Bank Limited on 23rd June, 2006 and thereafter engaged M/s PriceWaterHouseCoopers Limited to ascertain commission of criminal offences.

Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I said, once the hon. Members have read that report, they will find that the terms of reference are there. The letter from PriceWaterHouseCoopers to the Statutory Manager is also there. The conclusions of the report are very clear.

So, they did not interview third parties, but they gave the report to the bank. Again, as Treasury, a copy of the report was ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I just want to confirm that we, the so-called male hon. Members of this House have even a greater interest in this issue. This is because we are talking about our children, spouses and breasts. So, we have an interest in the issue. I intend to bring an amendment to make it compulsory for every child to be breastfed for three years.
