• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was seconding this Bill. I will be brief on my remaining remarks. Yes, I recognize that there has been a lot of media attention for the wrong reasons. I would like to start by particularly paying special tribute to one brilliant young lawyer who put it spot on over the weekend in Sunday Standard . I would ask every hon. Member to read the article by one Charles Kanjama. I think he got it very right. I do not quite view

• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make a Ministerial Statement on the purported cancellation of a tender awarded to Anhui Construction Engineering Group Company Limited, in joint venture with China Aero- Technology International Engineering Corporation, as requested by hon. Keter on 14th August, 2012. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the policy of this Government to provide the necessary connectivity facilities for Kenyans and the international community. We are also desirous of developing Nairobi as the aviation hub for the region, built around our anchor airline, Kenya Airways and its Sky Team partners. Consequently, after assessing our current facilities and the ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the matter is complex and I may not be able to exhaust all the answers here. I must congratulate the Members for the effort they put into gathering all this information from different sources. I could have provided it to you, I have it. However, going by Mr. Keter on the opinion of the Attorney-General, he is quoting one opinion selectively. In fact, the Attorney-General has given three opinions. The latest opinion is what we go by which was to say that the Public Procurement Oversight Authority (PPOA) is the legally established body to provide ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am speaking on the authority of the Ministry. I am confirming to this House that we received advice from the Attorney-General, and communicated with the PPOA. I am still waiting for the response from the PPOA to then report back to the Cabinet sub-committee. As I said in my Statement, the matter is still being processed through the Cabinet structures. The Cabinet has not finalized on this matter. view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, the Attorney-General gave us guidance and this is the process that has been going on in Cabinet meetings. The latest was to seek information from the PPOA and then brief the Cabinet. I am still waiting for the report of the PPOA to then take it to the Cabinet, so that we can resolve this matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the next item is the minutes of the Board that were said to be of the meeting of 22nd of July. view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the issue raised by the Member for Yatta just confirms what I said, that the matter is still being processed in the Cabinet. The letters from the Head of Public Service and the Attorney- view

• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, I know Mr. Mwaniki Gachoka, the Chairman of the Public Procurement and Administrative Review Board at a personal level, but I have not discussed with him any of these matters because our relationship is personal and is not based on his work at the PPRA Board. In any case, I am still waiting for an opinion from PPOA and not from the review board. He is the chairman of the review board and not the chairman of PPOA. Those two are totally different. Regarding the question by Mr. Ngugi about the ... view
