• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is now a question. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think there is a misconception being created here that the Treasury ceased to exist when Anglo Leasing was discovered. The Treasury, as an institution, still continues to exist. It has a legal mandate to continue carrying out all the duties given to it by the law. These include investigating and taking care of finances of this country. It is important for hon. Members to recall that it was the Treasury that asked the Controller and Auditor-General, in August, 2004, to investigate the 18 contracts. It was ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will try to answer the series of questions. I want to confirm that KACC has powers given to it by this House to contract any other person to carry out investigations on its behalf. That is in the law. The extension that we have given to the contract is to facilitate the completion of the work. In terms of the cost necessary to complete the work which is a time-based contract, it should not exceed Kshs126 million. We believe that, that a good investment knowing that we are looking at the circumstances that led to ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am trying to be generous to the hon. Member by giving him the whole truth. If the hon. Member was here yesterday when I was responding to this issue on a different Question on the same matter, I stated very clearly that the reason why we are looking at the 18 contracts, instead of only the nine that are still active is - because six have been cancelled and three were completed - we are looking at all the 18 contracts for different reasons. For the ones that were completed; how they were contracted and ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) As at 30th March, 2007, a total of 1,004 vehicles had been returned by the various Ministries and Government Departments. (b) The Government has saved an estimated Kshs1.3 billion as a result of part "a" above. view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kshs1.3 billion has not been raised from the sale of vehicles. We have advertised for sale 112 vehicles through competitive bidding and the bids are being evaluated. When that is complete, we shall know how much we are realising from the sales. The Kshs1.3 billion that we have saved, is from efficiency gains in terms of getting those vehicles off the road so that they are not incurring the fuel and maintenance costs that they were previously incurring. view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the 1,004 is a calculated figure based on the assessment that was carried out in the individual Ministries. I am not aware of the Ministries that have refused to return vehicles. So, I cannot contemplate action on an issue that has not arisen. view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are not just getting vehicles and grounding them. We are assessing the needs of each Ministry and Department and ensuring that those who have surplus vehicles do return and those who have shortages are given more through re-allocation. In fact, we are still spending more money on buying more vehicles, especially, for our security forces and the Police Department. So, we are not just getting vehicles and keeping them idle. The 112 vehicles that we are disposing of are the vehicles that are of excess engine capacity and thus do not conform with the Government ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not sure that I got the question. There was the "time frame" and "waste." Which is which? view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the 112 vehicles are being sold. They have been offered and people have tendered their prices. I am not sure of any other vehicles that will remain in the junkyards. view
