• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a vote of no confidence on a Committee of Parliament. If that is the route, then that is the preserve of Parliament. The Standing Orders are very clear on how to remove Committee Members. We remove them in consultation with the Clerk’s Office, the Speaker’s office and the leadership. On procedure, I want to urge my colleagues that let us not duplicate roles. Let us have confidence in the Committee that we have created. Let us ask the Committee headed by our able Chair, hon. Maina Kamanda, former Minister, to make sure that what hon. ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I oppose. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I will start with hon. F.K. Wanyonyi, and I would like him to understand, because we are here to clarify things. The period when the President and his delegation were in China, that was between 18th and 23rd was not when they decided on the projects. I think the able former Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs will agree with me on that. The projects are in the Kenya Government. Whether you do it through a private bank or through the Chinese Government, there are different levels of engagement. Once you agree at the heads of states level, ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We want to bring something that will add value and growth to our economy. My good friend, hon. Mbadi, asked for a clarification but he has instead, answered himself. That is a very unfortunate part of my good friend. The question by hon. Chris Wamalwa was very specific. It was about grants and loans. There are huge investments that are between the Kenya private sector and the financial institutions in China. There are many outgoing projects funded by many Chinese banks and Government. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I want to confirm to you that the Jubilee Government cannot make a trip worth Kshs.15 billion. What was reported is what was availed to the Kenyan people - that is US$ 5 billion. It is not the Kshs.15 billion for Homa Bay County. If the Kshs.15 billion was given to any county or to governors--- Out of the Kshs.32 billion, they spent only Kshs.8 billion. You need to tell us how Homa Bay County has spent Kshs.500,000 out of the Kshs.500 million that it has been allocated. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: My question was specific to hon. Chris Wamalwa. If you want us to quantify for you the US$ 15 billion, then that means those were huge Kenyan companies that were part and parcel of the delegation that secured huge funding and investment for our country. Hon. Chris Wamalwa, a very good friend of mine and this is the way Parliament should go--- Parliament must always guard the country in terms of our national debt. Our kids and future generations should not be mortgaged. We do not want to mortgage our country. We will carry the national debt of retired President ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: History will record that when I saw how the Grand Coalition was being mismanaged, I took a walk. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It is with a light touch. Hon. Chris Wamalwa has raised a question on the bilateral agreement. He has alleged that they would give us money on condition that the projects are undertaken by Chinese companies. If you look at all the governments, there are conditions where particular funding from foreign governments is tied to. I can tell you that all the investment and the bilateral aid that was signed by the Government are projects that will go through the Public Procurement and Disposal Act. There are no other conditions. Hon. Mbadi raised the issue of the West. As the ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The safety and lives of Kenyans can never be comprised. The lives of Kenyans are of utmost importance. Without Kenyans, there will be no Kenya. The road menace that is killing Kenyans in very large numbers is something that should pain everyone in this country. Every concerned citizen should be prepared to ensure that an end is brought to this menace. For that reason, any initiative or any ad hoc committee or any sitting committee inquiring into the road menace in Kenya is something that I will support. Not too long ago this House formed ... view
