• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I believe the amendment proposed by Mr. Ogindo is premised on the wrong thing. Having listened to the explanation, let me, first of all, clarify and take from where Ms. Karua has stopped. It will be unfortunate to introduce an amendment at this late stage without hon. Members getting the benefits to scrutinize it. This is what the amendment by Mr. Ogindo is trying to do. Hon. Members have not even understood what his amendment seeks to do. The explanation he has given that it is to prevent the money from being misused is not ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what is contained in Clause 44 of the Finance Bill is very simple. It gives authority to the KAA to access the same money it charges at the airports. The KAA generates money which goes through a very circuitous route before it gets back to them. If we go by the explanation of the future devolved situations we are looking at, people should retain the money they charge at that point and utilize it for the development for which it is intended. I believe the argument by Dr. Khalwale that this is to create a ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if he wanted to use this money for campaign purposes, he would not need to create a fund for it. view

• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: This Government is getting out of the mischief the hon. Member is thinking about by disclosing that this money has been collected for the development of the airport. Therefore, it should go to the KAA Fund and be utilized for that purpose. So, I urge the Mover of this amendment--- view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I believe the Finance Bill was tabled on 11th June, 2009 and the amendment we are talking about has been tabled today. I am referring to the amendment to delete Clause 44 which was tabled today and I am not sure how many hon. Members have looked at the amendment by Mr. Ogindo against Clause 44 which is in the Finance Bill. That is what I am referring to. I am saying that it is unfortunate that we have had three months to look at this Bill; it has gone through the Departmental Committee on ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not think I have said that this amendment is improperly before this House. I have said that this amendment has been brought to this House today. That does not mean it is improperly before the House. The amendment is on the Order Paper and is the property of the House. All I am saying is that the Finance Bill is not new. This Bill has been here for the last so many months. I was saying that it is unfortunate for us to consider this amendment which has been brought to this House ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Exactly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir! I am not sure what his point of order is but English is a difficult language. I urge that Mr. Ogindo withdraws this amendment in good faith so that we can make progress and give the KAA power to carry out the work it is doing by reinvesting some of these monies. In any case, as I have said, the money will still be collected and that is not the issue. They are still charging but for them to access it, it has first to go through a circuitous route. By the time they ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Members to start making allegations that an amendment brought here through the Finance Bill is intended to create a campaign kitty? view
