Thank you, Mr. Kamau for that correction. I do accept. One of the analysts who was part of those who were doing the performance ratings said that the Governor of the CBK was asleep at the wheel and, therefore---

1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these were the comments of one of the analysts. He said, “The Governor of the Republic of Kenya was asleep at the wheel” and another one said, “He missed the plot entirely” which means he did not understand what was going on. This is not me. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the person and institution tasked with this job have slept on the job; nobody is saying the Governor is culpable at this stage. We are saying that because there are unique issues that happened during this period of time in line with the provisions of the ...

1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying there is also need to put a mechanism of an internal review within the banks so that these issues can be detected. On the fiscal policy, we are saying there is need to place in tariffs and non-tariff barriers on non-commercial import services. This is given as one of the reasons but again we realized that this is a problem that has been going on. Finally, there is the issue of the in duplum rule which is in the law. This was a product of the Donde Bill which again was not legislated ...

1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
42 Thursday, 1st March, 2012 (P) In concluding, there are critical issues as a nation we need to address. There is need to prove a level playing field for all Kenyans regardless of their tribe, their region, their social or political affiliation to engage in productive economic activity. This is one thing that is lacking in the current financial market. It is so skewed that Kenyans do not have the same opportunity to do business as required by the Constitution. The same equality under the law must be reflected in practice and in action. This is one thing that we ...

1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to read. There is figure 1, figure 2 and figure 3. Figure 2 was supposed to give the CBK a discount window and inter-bank rate. It is only the graph that is there. That official document that came to the Clerk’s office is missing from this and this is not signed. I think that is a very serious omission. All the annexes from (i) to this which were part and parcel of the original Report that I signed need to be part of this. Those were the annexes with incriminating information. Before you make ...

28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, two weeks ago, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Lands on the illegal allocation of land belonging to the State of Kuwait. I can see the Minister here. I hope he is ready to issue the Statement.

28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the Minister for that elaborate answer. But land is a very emotive and sensitive issue and, more so, when the sanctity of that important document called the title deed is put into question. But my worry is - and that is the bit that I want the Minister to address--- That is why I decided to have this issue answered by both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Lands. Later on, we opted for the Ministry of Lands. We want to project this country as an investment destination; as ...

28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, you know that under the Vienna Convention, diplomatic properties are protected and this is not an ordinary title. That title belongs to the Head of State of a friendly nation. That being the case, now that the Minister has all the details concerning the individuals and from the look of things the individuals seem to be highly connected, will this be another case being investigated by the police or since this is very sensitive issue, will he ensure that these individuals are arraigned in court, prosecuted and punished according to the Kenyan law?
