• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is also important to underline that as the House was passing this law, it also passed the Micro-Finance Act that also said that for small banks that do not want to compete with the big banks, they can operate as micro-finance institutions and with a core-capital of Kshs20 million when operating outside town and Kshs50 million when operating within town, so that everyone was taken care of. I beg to oppose. view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I will surprise Mr. Ogindo by supporting this amendment. I brought it in 2006; it was view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, cognizance of the fact that our fuel prices are high, this House passed the Energy Act, 2006 and gave power to the Minister and the Energy Regulation Commission and a very elaborate formulae to work out what should be the price to be paid at the pump. view

In between the price per barrel, there are transportation and distribution costs. There are all those other costs, which have nothing to do with the crude view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity on behalf of the entire Government to thank this House for finally bringing to a close this issue of the Finance Bill.

• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do agree that, indeed, we have some timelines that are set by the law, and some of those timelines may well have passed because the House was on a break. As you make your ruling, I would also like to persuade you to take into cognizance the fact that we, as a Government, do respect the independence of Parliament to determine its own calendar; we, as the Executive cannot influence that. So, when the House made the decision to go on recess, we were quite aware that, indeed, there would be some timelines that would expire ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask our very hard working Committee to use the new energy that they acquired during the break to actually work extra hard, so that we do it for the bigger interest of the nation in terms of doing what we must do to cover for the lost time. Time has passed. A deadline that should have been met last week when we were away cannot be brought back. We can make the decision on how to go forward in terms of ensuring that the Kenyan people have the Budget that they deserve. view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: In terms of the other issues like whether it should have come before the Finance Bill or the Estimates, we will be able to tackle these things as we move along and as part of the consultations that we are making.
