• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not want us to blame the Executive. Ministers have been appearing and answers have been forthcoming. I also do not want us to blame all the Chairs. There are very fantastic and hard working Chairs. If I can name them, some of them are hon. Amina Abdalla, hon. Langat and many others. Let us not blame the Executive. If the Order Paper is showing that you are supposed to give a response on Wednesday morning, courtesy demands that the Chair must be here latest 8.30 a.m., go to Room 7 and pick an answer. In ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will respond next week on Wednesday, in the morning. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is very strange that a Cabinet Secretary has turned down summonses. I will write to the President, through the Chief of Staff, that this said Cabinet Secretary is turning down the summonses of Parliament. I will communicate that information and make sure that all Cabinet Secretaries, heads of departments and executives attend all summonses. On the same matter, the Mining Bill is coming to Parliament, I am sure shortly. As the Committee investigates the matter in Kasigau, in Taita Taveta, I wish to assure hon. Abdalla, one of the active chairs, this time round the Minister ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Last Thursday when this debate was being shelved, I raised a concern, and I am on HANSARD, that I hope the deferment of this Motion to today will not be as a result of some very dark forces that want to make sure this report does not see the light of day. However, having said that, with a lot of respect to my good friend and neighbour, the Member for Bura, before you make a ruling, I want the Member to avail the court proceedings, the court case, and the affidavits generally as ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you cannot stand up and say that matter is in court. The precedent and the Standing Orders will support me; before you make a ruling, the Member must table on the Floor of the House the case number, the proceedings and tell us if there is a partial judgment. Then from there you can move to the ruling. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what is before us now is a report. This Committee met for six months. The Motion before the Public Investments Committee (PIC) is a matter that was discussed for six months where key witnesses were interviewed. The Member should have even walked to that Committee, raised the matter and stopped its proceedings. Parliament has invested money in that Committee and today I am sure the House is extraordinarily full because Members want to debate this report. It is either for or against it. Would it be in order for hon. Wario to table the court cases and proceedings ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I stand to support this report. I want to thank the Committee and hon. Keynan. This is because hon. Keynan has a history especially in the last Parliament of doing very thorough investigations and making sure that those who commit crime against the people of Kenya are brought to book. He did it in the last Parliament when some people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs decided to “eat” even the plots that were to be owned by the Kenyan embassies. I will be very brief. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to set the record straight. This grand corruption took place a few years after former President Moi left office. Hon. Members can remember that throughout Moi’s tenure, Kenyans alleged that his Government was corrupt. However, we can see that three years after he retired, the axis of corruption regrouped under the NARC Administration. Instead of reforming this country, the new administration then went ahead and came up with fictitious companies. The names changed from O. Pattni to Jacob Juma. There is no difference today. Therefore, I want to use the privilege of this House and say ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: respect, whom the President, in his own wisdom, appointed the Chief of Staff, namely, Joseph Kinyua. On 28th August, 2004, Joseph Kinyua must have prayed to the Almighty God. He went to his office and wrote a letter, which I want to read out to show that he was the only guy who wanted to stop the theft that Jacob Juma and company wanted to perpetrate. In one of the paragraphs, Joseph Kinyua said:- “You ought to know that, in the past, the Government lost a lot of money in similar circumstances. The case of Mr. Somaia and the National ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Jacob Juma and company are similar to Somaia and the National Bank. Mr. Kinyua went ahead to say the following:- “You are, however, strongly advised that payment to these tenderers should be made only on delivery and confirmation that the imported maize meets the quality requirements as specified in the tender.” view
