• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Today is a sad day for this country and it is a very important day in the calendar of this nation. The Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is not one of the principals of this nation. We have the President and the Prime Minister who signed the Accord and under this Constitution, who are the two principals. Above all--- view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take a few minutes to support this Report. I think the issue here is bigger than KBC and the CEO of KBC. The issue is in every Government parastatal where Ministers appoint people with poor qualifications based on ethnic consideration and friendship. At the end of the day, the Boards of various parastatals become the sycophants of the CEO of that organization and the Minister concerned. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will substantiate and I am heading to do that. You will find that even in this House, where a Committee of Parliament--- view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the members of the Board of KBC, and whom the Committee confirmed that they are not qualified--- Mrs. Deborah Chepsitit Ochodo, Rev. Simon Lanyonyo---. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to know where these names come from in relation to the said organization. We had the same problem with the Kenya Bureau of Standard (KEBS). The Board is divided. If you look at the division in that Board, those who side with the Minister are people of questionable qualifications. That is the same Board that will recruit the ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the adoption of this Report. For the first time, I want to speak as a member of the private sector. The world over, financial institutions work in the same way where accounts of individual customers and companies are monitored by the banks under the banking regulations through the central bank. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The animal ring in Ndii was completed in 2007, but is not operational because of a land dispute over the site where it is constructed between the Taita Taveta County Council and a local resident by the name of Mrs. Grace Hejimwa, who claims the ring was built on her land. The individual has moved to court and obtained a court order barring the council from using the facility. The case is still pending, awaiting determination. On the other hand, Rukanga Market stopped operating due to low business activities. Further, the ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, consultation was done with all the stakeholders in the area. Taita Taveta County Council, in conjunction with the project programmes that I mentioned earlier, have come to the conclusion that the land belongs to the County Council of Taveta. It was not until when this project was completed and put to use in the year 2009 that Mrs. Grace and two other persons came out and disputed the ownership of the land which led to the whole matter being taken to court. So, consultations were done before implementation of the project took place. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the role of the Ministry of Livestock Development and the Ministry of Local Government, represented by Taita Taveta County Council, like any other Government Ministry, is to create the necessary environment and infrastructure for business in the private sector to thrive. We did that. We built the market. It is up to livestock traders to go to the market and transact business. The Government’s role is to regulate the sector, provide enabling environment and create the necessary infrastructure. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sensitization means that even the area Member of Parliament will be involved. There is no budgetary allocation for that purpose. “Sensitization” means talking to the people. Our officers on the ground will talk to traders and the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the area Member of Parliament and the grassroots leaders. It is a combined role to make sure that the infrastructure we have created as Government is used to the fullest. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment. We must live up to the spirit of the new Constitution, more so, on the Chapter on Bill of Rights. Days are gone when people who purport to be Government officials or agencies walk into your shop, confiscate your goods and go away with them. All that we are asking is that we must live within the spirit of the new Constitution under this amendment. view
