Hon. Speaker, Sir, we also note that the conspiracy, as the Chairman has said, went beyond the institution itself. It touched on commercial banks and in this case two particular commercial banks. A bank issues a bid bond to a company to bid for Government business worth close to US 1 million. It gives a bid bond on condition that this company will provide an irrevocable Letter of Credit for that bid bond to stand. That irrevocable Letter of Credit was never and has never been supplied to the bank. However, the bank did not have the morality and the ...

On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I really want you to direct the House as to whether hon. Kang’ata is in order to be bringing partisan and party politics on the Floor of this House and the names we are considering are not necessarily on the basis of the politics in and out of the Jubilee Coalition. We should consider these names on merit as to whether the hon. Members of this House warrant holding those positions and we should not be informed of the politics that hon. Kang’ata is alluding to. I do not know who wants to ...

On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I am standing on Standing Order No.95 asking if it would be in order, reading the mood of the House that the Mover be called upon to reply.

I am also looking forward to the debate on the report by the Public Investments Committee (PIC). Will it be in order now to call upon the Mover of the ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and, indeed, thank and congratulate hon. Jamleck Kamau for this very timely Motion. There is a lot of extravagance in the use of public resources and, therefore, what hon. Jamleck Kamau has done in this Motion is timely to arrest this problem. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, His Excellency the President is kind enough and conscious enough to use Business Class when he is flying on international trips but you find Cabinet Secretaries who are serving under the same President flying First Class. The same thing extends to the ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, I really do not want to get into the debate of what was said and not said as hon. Ng’eno said while we were in Marakwet. But I must confirm that, indeed, I was there, but I did not speak to the issue. This is precisely because I am very conscious of the provisions of the Standing Orders in relation to matters that are before this House and more so, before a Parliamentary Committee. What you have said it true that you have remedy to all these problems and I would beg you to have the remedy ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the reasons for these amendments are quite simple in that the principal Act provides that the Commissioner of Insurance, who will also be the Chief Executive of the regulatory Authority of the insurance industry, shall be appointed by the Board, in consultation with the Minister. All I am proposing is that we have a system that is very open and very competitive for everybody across the board. That is my prayer in the amendment – that we have a process that will be open and competitive rather than one that is very subjective.
