• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: “It is because I respect the Government of Kenya and the Embassy that I want to protect the property of the Government of Kenya and the people of Kenya since I have been dealing with them for quite some time”. As a result of this he pulled out of the deal. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what shocked us was when the Minister appeared before us. Eventually, I will come to the reason the Minister has to take some responsibility for some of this. The Minister told us when appeared before the Committee that the lawyer was demanding Kshs45 million. However, the lawyer’s fee here is Kshs3.2 million. That is Kshs3.2 million against Kshs45 million. The reason the Ministry gave as to why it did not include this is because what was offered was too high. Again, we have a renowned Kenyan architect in Japan called “Mr. Olago”. He gave an opinion that ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Ministry sought permission from the Director of Public Procurement Oversight Authority. He wrote a letter advising them not to use certain procedures. They went ahead and used the same. The Director of Public Procurement Oversight Authority asked, if, indeed, their intention was not to use what is clearly provided for in the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005, why were they notifying that department. The query has not been answered. This process was concluded without adherence to the regulations. As I said, there was no lawyer or valuation. The only valuation that was done during ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 17th January 2009. I am sorry about that. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Indeed, on that particular day, Amb. Awori was in Gaborone, Botswana, representing the African diplomats who were based in Tokyo. So when the Minister told us that Amb. Awori is the one who signed the agreement; again, we had a case with the Minister when Amb. Awori came and said that this is a fraud and that he did not sign the agreement. We have every reason to believe his version. He brought his passport and air ticket and all evidences appertaining to his hotel accommodation. As if that is not enough, there are two agreements here. Those of you ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the first payment was Kshs1, 477,630,000. There were individual accounts by a company called Roji under the names of Allan Mburu, a lady called Grovin and two other individuals, who were minors. Those are the details that Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) has. I am sure that the Government of Japan has the details of that. If 80 per cent of what was agreed on was paid, yet there was no lawyer, valuer, inter-ministerial committee and proper government directives were not followed, our conclusion is that this was an outright act of fraud; it was a rip-off, and ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me put it on record that the KACC went to the ground in May this year and the Minister, certainly, had that information. The Minister interacted with his mission staff in Tokyo. Why would he be in a hurry to write a letter when he knows that there are some questions about some of his staff? That is something that all of us can interpret, and we all know the answer to it. It is because of this that, as a Committee, we said that the Minister misled the Committee. We know the provisions of the ... view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are the reports and it is not my invention. These are the reports of the Kenya National Assembly. I am not inventing anything and it is not something new. I have it here and it is in the Parliamentary library. I was just making reference that there has been a pattern. One of the recommendations in this report is that the Minister should be barred from holding public office. That is not my creation. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. These are the reports of the Public Investment Committee (PIC) on different dates and years. view
