Kenya MPs want Central Bank probed over money printing

Nairobi, 02 Aug – (ANA) - A Kenyan parliamentary committee has asked that a cabinet minister and the central bank governor be removed from office and be investigated over the loss of money it says was lost in a currency printing deal.

The powerful parliamentary committee, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), also wants the country's anti-corruption watchdog to investigate the two government officials and take legal action to recover the lost money from them.

The group, which monitors government spending, said in a report presented to the country's national assembly it also wants parliament to approve a resolution that the two are unfit to hold public office in east Africa's biggest economy. (ANA)
