• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: proud of; they are something that is clearly envisaged under Vision 2030, and every Kenyan or citizen of East Africa, will be very proud of them. It is because of this that the strategic importance of this project must be taken into account. Hon. Deputy Speaker, equally, there were challenges. I want to say this and I want the management of KPC to hear this: There are serious institutional challenges with the design, the tender process and award. However minor these challenges are, they must not be allowed to be repeated in any future major project. It is only through ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, there is a tendency that you conceive an idea, design a project, implement it and then you award a tender with one objective of making a kill out of it. This is why the culture of variations must not be allowed in some of these critical projects. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Before I call my able Deputy Chairman, Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah, to second, there is one thing that I want to urge the Government to do. We have the State Law Office, which is clearly recognised under our Constitution. Of late, there has been a tendency to completely sideline this office, particularly the mandate of the Attorney- General of the Republic of Kenya in the implementation of some of the key Government projects.

However, the Report before the House is not about Lebanon as a country. Therefore, we must be very careful not to use the Floor of this House to discuss an independent country without a substantive Motion before the House. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the contract is not to Lebanon. Lebanon appears nowhere. The contract is to a company called Zakhem International Construction Company. Nowhere in this Report has the Committee discussed anything to do with Lebanon. The only thing that we know is that this is an international company. Therefore, is it in order for the Hon. Junet to knowingly mislead the House and suck in the name of an independent country called Lebanon when this Report does not in any way discuss Lebanon as an independent entity? view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what is unparliamentary is that he talked about Lebanon as a country ravaged by civil war and in crisis. Let us be very careful. We have the Vienna Convention. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will take a minute. M/s Zakhem International did the same job in 1974, and the project was completed in--- view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are not trained in the same way. I would hate to argue with the Speaker, but allow me to build my case. I want to respond to what he said. view
