"When it comes to public finance matters, including receipt of money, conversion o currency or transfer of public funds, the Central Bank of Kenya and no other institution is the final authority.
Yet to date, all that the Treasury, the CBK and other organizations have put out are spread sheets and explanations of the same letters whose veracity we dispute and whose numbering even the Treasury has admitted to be faulty.
These adverts and write ups ARE NOT BANKING INFORMATION and therefore account for nothing on this matter.
A banking statement from the Central Bank of Kenya capturing the movement of money from New York and receipt of the same money in Nairobi is yet to be shown to the public. The CBK remains loud in its silence on this matter.
The CBK knows that money transfer, receipt and instructions for such transactions are accompanied by Swift Code transfer forms including MT103, MT 202 and MT 502. These forms are missing in all the claims the CBK and the Treasury have been putting out. Why? Your guess is good as mine.

And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
