“The national treasury is not a political position. The national treasury of the Republic of Kenya is not a personal role. The national treasury of the biggest economy in East and Central Africa is not a place for you to mistreat us and speak to us anytime you want. This is where we manage our economy. The work of that office is to protect the value of citizens’ money,” she stated.
