• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. We actually sympathize with the Chairman, because he is one of us. But usually when there is a Statement that is not clearly responded to, we give that hon. Member of that Committee time to look for a suitable answer, and bring it to the Floor of the House. Would I then be in order, now that we have not had adequate response to the Statement request by hon. Iringo, to propose that the Chair b given more time?

• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you for recognising me as the Deputy Whip. Is the Chairperson of the Committee in order to mislead this House by saying that passengers transiting to other countries through our airports are being inspected, when we do not have any structure in place for that purpose?

For example, the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) manning Mumias has three constituencies to secure and these include Mumias West, Mumias East and Matungu. You can see that there is only one vehicle used by the police. This is a vast area which I strongly feel that as they go ahead to investigate, they should also include the aspect of the level of response which is contributed by availability of vehicles. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade regarding non-compliance by the Customs Department in verifying transit goods as required under the Kyoto Convention of 1974. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Article No.32(8) of the Kyoto Convention, to which Kenya is a signatory, provides that arrangements should be made for measures of mutual assistance among the customs administration of the countries concerned with regard to verification of the accuracy of the documents describing goods transported under customs transit and the authenticity of the customs seals. However, in Kenya goods are transiting the customs points without being subjected to the requisite verification, making the country a transit point for illegal goods. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as he proceeds to inquire about this matter, he may wish to call the KRA Commissioner-General. I request that when the Committee will be meeting him, he allows me to attend that meeting, so that I can also put a few questions to the Commissioner-General. view
