• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: The KACC did not investigate Charterhouse Bank Limited over the offence of money laundering in 2004 and 2005 as there was no law in place then that defined money laundering as an offence in Kenya. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to confirm that, in view of the fact that we did not have a law dealing with money laundering then, it was not possible for any person to carry out investigations on the aspect of money laundering in Kenya. So, that is the position I want to hold. No person in Kenya during that time could have been able to investigate the bank based on money laundering as an offence. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we indeed approved the appointment of the two commissioners but, just before they were sworn in, a case was filed in Nakuru, where restraining orders were obtained. So, we could not proceed with the swearing in of the commissioners because of a court order that stopped their swearing in to resume office. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me correct my colleague. The relevant Section of the Act is Section 8, and not Section 6. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the definition of the “Commission” is the Chairperson, together with the other two commissioners. So, even if we were to swear in the two commissioners minus the Chair, in law, you cannot say that you have a Commission. So, we just want to say that, immediately the matter is determined by the court, which I believe will be done very soon; we will proceed to comply with the Act. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not in a position, at this point in time, to confirm or deny to the House that the Report that was tabled in this House and passed relates to Charterhouse Bank Limited. So, my position is that I am not aware of the Report that was tabled in this House. In any event--- view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said, and I want to repeat that I owe duty to this House. The knowledge of the Report is what is important. It will enable me deal with it in relation to the Question. Therefore, the contents of that Report are not within my knowledge right now. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have a problem. If I am given more time to go through the Reports, I can do so. However, in my view, the Question by hon. Mwau has been answered fully, subject to your direction. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if, indeed, really, the closure of the bank was on the basis of money laundering, then I can say that members of that bank are really not receiving justice because there was no basis to close the bank based on that particular issue. However, if the closure of the bank is based on other factors, then I cannot confirm that. But if it is based on money laundering and, indeed it is true, then the depositors of the bank are facing unfair treatment. view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is important to establish really from the Report tabled in this House if the bank was closed because of money laundering. If it is true, then I think it is important that I be given more time so that I come back to the House with an answer. view
