• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief because the Committee has been very thorough in its work. I wish to commend them from the outset and support the Report and the good work that the Committee has been doing. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the only thing that I need to put into proper perspective is the timing we are talking about. A number of things that have happened are historical. But there is a temptation, especially when people hear about them, to actually think that they are happening now. Those are issues ... view

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we look at the Kenya Reinsurance Corporation, it has been mentioned here a couple of times. It is one of the State corporations that we have turned around with new management. We admit that there were challenges. There were some cases, but looking at a corporation whose base is billions of shillings, we considered Kshs36 million exposure as immaterial. Nevertheless, because it is public money, we ... view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that what I said is that we have done very well in terms of ensuring that all our parastatals are profitable. We have also noted that there are people who have been named in these reports who are now campaigning to come back to public life. We need to make sure that the public is protected by ensuring that those people do not come anywhere closer to public resources that we have conserved by turning around these corporations. I just wanted to mention that danger. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in terms of ... view
• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, an hon. Member of Parliament requested a Ministerial Statement regarding some fake currency notes that were reported to have been intercepted at the Busia Border. I wish to state as follows: On 10th September, 2007, one Wycliffe Otiende, a Ugandan national, was found in possession of 130 pieces of paper each of the size of 1,000 denomination Kenya currency notes. The papers had been dipped in a dye and were purportedly in the process of being made into Kshs1,000 notes. The suspect was then arrested, taken to Busia Police Station and charged before the ... view

• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I reply, I wish to acknowledge the fact that I have consulted with the hon. Member.

(a) With regard to the terms and conditions of service of the CDF Account Managers, the managers will be recruited on a three-year contract, renewable, subject to effective performance throughout the period of the contract. They are subject to a probation period of three months. The personal emoluments are basically on a basic ... view
• 25 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that, in some constituencies, there have been some managers. In some constituencies, there are very technically competent staff within their CDF offices. That is not the case in all the constituencies. In response to an appeal by hon. Members to provide technical expertise on a uniform basis, we agreed that the NMC should recruit and assign, to every constituency, an independent technical advisor, who will help that constituency on an even basis, so that we do not have the problems that we seem to be having; of somebody waking up and deciding that ... view
