• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: go to court, they instigate the system and it comes around and you are forced to negotiate. When you negotiate, you are asked to develop it on their behalf. This is the scenario with that piece of land. Eventually, when we learned this, we said that this is a matter of immense public interest and, therefore, it is our obligation as the PIC to inquire into this issue and ensure that the taxpayers get value for their money. It is as a result of this that my Committee, one of the most active Committees with some of the best brains ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: must be the vey individuals. Eventually, even there, the NSSF did not get its way. Therefore, all the plots were sold as unserviced plots subject to the approval of the physical development plan by the Nairobi City Council. Due to the unplanned manner in which this piece of land was subdivided, it was surveyed, planned and the NSSF engaged the services of one company called Geo-Info Surveys Limited, which submitted the development plans of the Nairobi City Council and obtained conditional approval on behalf of the Fund in 2008. The NSSF also engaged the services of a land surveyor, Ms ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: He is a very intelligent Member. When we realised, again, there was a tug of war on the issue of procurement, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) purportedly tried to cancel the contract. Where does a CS come in, in the management of an independent, autonomous and quasi Government agency? When Mr. Kazungu purportedly decided to cancel the contract again, we came and told him: “What you are doing borders on trivialising the mandate of the NSSF as enshrined in the NSSF Act.” Therefore, when we brought that to his attention again, you know what you expect. He had to run away. ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: happen. Again, that will bring another challenge. The contractor is likely to bring in the issue of variation, cost escalation and inflationary cost implication simply because what happened in 2013 or what ought to have happened is not the same as what is likely to happen in 2017. Before I state our recommendations, we have also realised, because of the challenges and interference by CSs and the politically correct in the management of the NSSF, it has had the highest turnover of Managing Trustees in the history of any public entity. You can just read to understand this. Every year, ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Well. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sure you will also appreciate that--- I withdraw. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: It would have been only inappropriate if it was applied in the context of any individual. I just used “vulture”. Because of the respect I have for your office, I withdraw. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I withdraw. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, manipulators. Because of this, the Committee recommends the following: The Tassia II Project is important since the plot owners will get their title deeds. Over 20,000 persons living in Tassia area will benefit from access to efficient road network, water supply, street lighting, individual plot access and healthy living environment. Therefore, the project will benefit them. The caveat we have put in place is “properly implemented”. These land grabbers, squatters or whatever you want to call them who have turned out to be the owners of this will eventually benefit. Two, we talked of comprehensive infrastructural development. Therefore, the ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Four, the NSSF collects funds from the plot owners to cater for the infrastructural development. The NSSF does not donate water, roads and so on, but the owners of the plots must also pay for the provision of those services. We also said that the EACC must investigate the circumstances under which the NSSF first bought the plots. It must bring to the fore all the players who were involved in the acquisition, purchase and development of this to the public. We also said that the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services should not interfere with the procurement. As ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Kenya. Therefore, the plunder, wastages and the mismanagement that is going on must be brought to an end. The important document called Mwongozo, which I would not want to call the infamous, generated by the Jubilee Government, was a good document. What happened to it? It was meant to reform the parastatal sector. What happened to the Mwongozo document? It was a beautiful document. It was meant to reform the parastatal sector. The document was launched, but it remains on the shelves. It remains in the archives. It is not being implemented. Therefore, it joins the list of the many ... view
