• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, yes, indeed. I would like to donate the two minutes to Prof. Kamar. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the Mover of this Motion for the thoughts and spirit of this Motion. It comes out to recognize what our sportspeople have been doing. We all know that sports are interlinked with energy levels and a certain period during one’s life when one is active. One cannot sustain this into the long-term except only in some of the sports. We all recognize, and I am happy to hear contributions from the hon. Members that our sportspeople have done us proud. Indeed, even when we differed politically, we did so ideologically and ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not want to interrupt the seconder, but is he in order to mislead this House that the Budget Committee cannot obtain this information from the Minister except through invoking the Constitution when it is very clear that the committees can actually do that? What is provided for in the Constitution is a last resort measure that in the event that the Government is not willing to give that information, then you invoke the Constitution. But parliamentary committees have all the necessary powers and privileges to obtain that information from ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Is he in order to mislead this House that the only reason they are asking for that is because it is now required by the Constitution? That is selective misrepresentation of the Constitution. view

I, hereby, table a detailed breakdown showing the transport comparison per Ministry for the Financial Years 2008/2009 and 2009/2010, which will be contained in the Government Accounts books once they are released. (b) As at 31st December, 2010, a total of 1,491 of the surrendered vehicles had been sold. That sale realized Kshs338,244,955 and that amount has already been paid to the Exchequer.

• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the target amount was Kshs1.2 billion and Kshs.846,355,639 has already been realized. The difference between the target and what was realized is the escalation of costs due to the increase in fuel prices. The extra vehicles were purchased for the ESP projects and security operations. That had a trickle effect such that the savings went to Kshs850 million, which is still a major saving. view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kshs338,244,955 is what was realized from the vehicles that were sold. There are still more vehicles to be sold. In fact, hon. Members view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could I finish? view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are talking about what has been realized to date. We are not talking about the cost of the vehicles that will be sold. This is the amount that has been realized from the sale of the vehicles. There are still more vehicles to be sold. The new vehicles were purchased at a cost of Kshs500 million compared to what would have been spent on higher capacity vehicles which, at the very least, would have cost double that amount. So, there was realization of costs in terms of buying the Passats and saving on the Mercedes Benzes. ... view
