Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. As I said, we have been grey-listed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the international community.

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) No. The President of this country has made a positive direction on this particular thing, bearing in mind where we are on the grey list. I want to thank the President for doing this, because we have been writing to the Office of the...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent)Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker.
