• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was saying that the directors failed to exercise due care and diligence in accordance with the Companies Act, Cap.486 and I wanted to know from the Minister what action he has taken, or the Government intends to take, against those directors who are responsible for the collapse of the company. At the same time, I would like to find out from the Minister whether he intends to bail out this company which is very important, as he said, to this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year, this House passed a policy Paper giving guarantees ... view
• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Administration and National Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that several senior Provincial Administration officials suspended on 13th January, 2006 on accusations of mismanagement of relief food in North Eastern Kenya have been redeployed? (b) Could the Minister table the findings of the five Permanent Secretaries on the probe of mismanagement of relief food?

• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell the House whether the rate of population increase is the same in all the eight provinces? If not, what is the rate of population increase for each province? view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week when we were contributing to the debate on the Supplementary Estimates, I said that this House is being taken for a ride by this Ministry. Actually, I want to oppose, as a matter of fact, the Supplementary Appropriations Bill, because the Minister is not serious. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when Treasury is making Supplementary Estimates, it must consult with the relevant Ministries. You do not just wake up and reduce money from Ministries without finding out whether indeed it will have an impact. What you have done is one of the reasons which makes ... view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Minister should be serious. Is he in order to say that this Government inherited empty coffers from the previous regime when, indeed, in 12 months after taking over, they signed away Kshs32 billion in Anglo Leasing contracts? view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on the Second Schedule, Vote D20, there is an amount for reduction from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation of Kshs531 million. You have heard the Minister say that the reductions are done because of donor funding which has been withdrawn, withheld or not committed. It is important to clarify to this House the situation. We keep on reading about donors who say that they have suspended aid. The recent was a suspension of aid by the Dutch Government, of Kshs10 billion. Last year, the Budget was clear that there was 962 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May ... view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the things I want to advise this Government is about transparency in the implementation of these Supplementary Estimates. When we went through them last week, I raised the issue of lack of transparency that certain expenditures are being deliberately hidden to block Parliament from identifying them. A good example is when, last week, on the Floor of this House, I requested the Minister for Finance to tell this House in his reply where exactly he included the increase of salaries of Ministers and Assistant Ministers. Under which Vote did he include that? We went ... view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. By default I will do it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we have a lot of respect for our colleagues from all over the world who are here for the IPU Conference, and we will all need to attend this conference and for that reason we will accept the Motion to adjourn in principle. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, however, I think adjourning up to 30th May is not acceptable because the IPU Conference will end on 12th May, and immediately thereafter we will need to pass several more Bills as ... view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: I will bring an appropriate Motion to amend the period of adjournment from 30th, May, 2006, to 17th May, 2006. view
