• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We are also recommending that the Government of Kenya should not pay Essar Energy Overseas Limited any consideration during their exit since they have failed to honour their responsibilities in terms of upgrading and modernisation of the oil refinery on the basis of which the shareholding agreement was signed. This purported exit clause was fraudulently sneaked in the agreement. Since they had not done anything on the ground, our recommendation is that the Government of Kenya should not pay them a penny for this. We are also recommending that any future agreement between Essar Energy Overseas Limited and the Government ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: for refining. Before we produce our first crude oil, our suggestion is that the Government revives this institution and comes up with a modern refining facility so that we can encourage those who have invested in this vital sector. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We also recommend that the Privatisation Act be amended to ensure that the Government does not privatise or diverge from any strategic investment or parastatal without undertaking due diligence. This issue has happened. Those of you who watched television yesterday saw what has happened to Uchumi Supermarkets. Some few years back, Uchumi Supermarkets were one of the best not only in Kenya but in the entire region. The statement by the Board of Directors yesterday only confirms that Uchumi is ailing. It is ailing not because of what happened yesterday but because of the way its privatisation was undertaken. Currently, ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We also recommend that Part III of the Public Audit Act No. 12 of 2013 and Part IV of the State Corporations Act, Cap. 46 of the Laws of Kenya should be amended so that they can comply with Article 229 (5) of the Constitution to provide for express supervision for the Auditor-General to audit Government investments, including where the Government of Kenya The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: has shareholding that is less than 50 per cent. Right now there is a bit of confusion. This is where cartels and other corrupt elements have taken advantage because the Auditor-General only audits entities where the Government of Kenya has more than 50 per cent shareholding. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I just saw the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation. I do not know whether she is still here. I saw hon. Soipan here. I plead that as we generate many reports, the reason why the framers of the current Standing Orders--- view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I am privileged to have been part of that House that came up with these Standing Orders. The reason why the framers of the current Standing Orders chose to have a Committee on Implementation was that once a report is adopted, the work of the Committee on Implementation--- I am not in any way auditing the work of the Committee on Implementation because I can see a Motion on its Report on the status of implementation of House resolutions. This is what we want. Within two months of adoption of a report, we should get a status report from the ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think you have said everything. I want to urge every Member of the House to follow deliberations and take seriously what happens on the Floor of the House. This particular Report, as you have rightly put it, was tabled on 29th April 2014. It is almost a year plus. I can also confirm that there are enough copies. We have even gone ahead to simplify the work of Members by preparing an executive summary that we have availed at the reception as you walk out just to ensure that those Members who do not have ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the colleagues who have contributed to this Report. The PIC is a unique Committee in the sense that it deals with historical issues. The other day, we were looking at the Report on Tarda dated 1988. I am sure there are some Members here who were not born in 1988 but these are the issues. What we ar1e trying to do right now, as you will see in the 19th Report, is to clear the backlog so that we deal with current issues. Under Standing ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: special reports and other reports comes in - and to look at the autonomy and efficiency in terms of investments, whether the affairs of such investments are being in a commercially viable manner. It is due to this that I believe that what Hon. Khalwale did in the last Parliament for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is what we are trying to do. This is why next time when we do the 19th Report, we would have done something in 73 State institutions. This is an attempt to clear the backlog so that those who will be privileged to be ... view
