• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I appreciate the sentiments of hon. Members. First of all, in our criminal jurisprudence, criminal responsibility is individual. It is not communal. It is individual. To that extent, when you are a public servant or a State officer, you carry that individual responsibility on any transaction that you undertake. To that extent – and, in fact, somebody should have appreciated the fact that somebody has been a civil servant or in a high position obligates that individual to apply prudence at the maximum and apply all rules as required by regulations, statutes and the Constitution. The ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I beg that--- I have not said anything anyway! view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, again, this is an issue of understanding. I am not in any way saying that somebody is culpable. As you sit here, I am saying this: Should you do anything, whether you are hon. Keynan or hon. Wario, you carry that individual responsibility. I did not say that anybody is culpable at this stage. These are the findings of Auditor-General. He says – and these are the first findings--- This Report is with EACC. The Report is available in Room 8 and it will form part of our Report. The first finding is:- The procurement of maize ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also appreciate that English has also a lot of foreign ingredients. Those were three trustees. It is good to appreciate. I said the trustees. Even if it is one, I would have said it is a trustee. If there were two, I would have said trustees. If there were more, the same applies. I think this is something that we need to appreciate. Just, please, listen to why that informs the debate. I beg hon. Members to listen so that they can see what the Auditor-General has said and compare the same with what we are ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I believe that hon. Wakhungu should be asked to remain calm and listen. That is because I really want hon. Members to appreciate--- view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is what the Auditor-General says. Let me say this. The Accounting Officer of the three trustees was the Permanent Secretary, Special Programmes, Mr. Mahboub Maalim. He was the Accounting Officer. The others were board members. What they did was to commence a process of procurement when they knew that there were no funds. Hon. Speaker, the other day, we said that, if you look at the tendering process and all the documentation, the end desired was: Go ahead with the procurement process, give a tender, provide for a breach of warranty and contract and eventually when you ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the second recommendation of the Auditor-General states that the bid bond submitted by Erad Supplies was not valid. This is the Auditor- General and not PIC or anybody else. This is the most respected audit entity in the Republic of Kenya. Therefore, they said that this should be investigated. Hon. Speaker, further, they said that there was no evidence of due diligence having been carried out on financial ability of Erad Supplies to supply maize before the tender was awarded. This is evident that all the components did not follow due process. This includes the trustees, the Board ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Report is public, I am going to read another one from the Inspectorate of State Corporations. So, you are then buying time for the wrong reasons. It is good to have this issue investigated by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Let me confirm that EACC was one of the agencies that appeared before the PIC. They gave us very useful information. They have been investigating this for the last one-and-half years. The same way PAC investigated the issue of IEBC and brought a Report and ensured that there is action, this is the same thing we are trying to do. ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I, therefore, stand to strongly oppose this amendment by hon. Wario. However, I accept information from Hon. Makali. view
