• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Committee was set up to tell the Kenyan people and the public whether the sale of the hotel was legal or not. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: There were allegations that there was corruption involved. This Committee was to come and tell us whether they found any corruption. This Committee was to come and tell us after looking through all the people who were involved, how many were culpable in the sale of the hotel. But what do we have in this Report? It is the character of Amos Kimunya as I appeared before the Committee. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The issue of departure is really a small, technical issue. On 29th of April when I appeared before this House and issued a Ministerial Statement to say the hotel was going to be sold, the sale was not the issue, neither were the parameters under which it would be sold. Hon. Members sought clarifications and everyone went home happy until the matter was taken up by the Committee. What came out was that I did not tell the truth to the House. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The question had been asked and I repeated during my two appearances before the Committee: Was this hotel sold to a company called Meridian? I said: "I am not even aware of a company called Meridian, but there is a sale process in progress and it will be done in this way." So, I do not know what information was withheld from the public. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reason why this matter is becoming contentious in terms of who do we look at is that the Report by the Committee--- view

However, in terms of item (v), on the issue of the hotel making a profit or not, again, this is an interpretation of the Committee. In my Ministerial Statement, and in the Committee, I never said whether the hotel made a profit or not, because I could not ascertain that fact. All I said was that the hotel had not remitted any money to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). Perhaps, that is one of the misreporting ... view

• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for your protection. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The other point of departure, which is very important, and on which I hope the lawyers in this House will help, is basically what we define as a sale. When I appeared before the Committee, the question was: "Has the hotel been sold to Meridian?", to which I said: "No, it has not been sold to Meridian, but negotiations are under process." view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, I told the Committee that, because of the delicate nature of those negotiations, I would be very selective on the information I would give, because I did not want to jeopardise the sale that was going on. So, there was admission that there was a sale process going on. view
