• 6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to be humble to the Members. These are honourable Members and I did not want to cast aspersions on any one. April 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 455 view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when hon. M. Kariuki was an activist many years before he came to Parliament, I was one of his great fans. But I do not envy him now because he runs a Ministry where he has perhaps to deny that heaven exists! Mr. Speaker, Sir, last month, Ms. Wambui was shown in various media distributing Government relief food. That raised a lot of concern in the public domain. Could he tell the House how the activist got hold of Government food and distributed it as her own? view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard the Minister say that the chairman of his party, Mr. Kombo, was not featured in the opinion polls. Is he in order to say so, and yet, his chairman has not, at any time, declared that he is a Presidential candidate? view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister say that the Committee did not table the documents from the Cabinet. Part of the documents that were tabled that were annexes to this Report, includes on the first page, an extract of the minutes of the Cabinet which approved the 2001 proposals. It is misleading to say that it was the project. What it clearly says, and I want to table it here for him to see, is that the Cabinet noted the contents of the Memorandum and approved:- (I) Use of lease financing as an ... view
• 4 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has provided the name of the company, Brotherlink International. He has given us the PIN number, the registration number and the type of business these people do, yet we remember what they said. They said that they have so much money that they can actually finance the Budget of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell this House and the nation how much money in terms of investments did these "foreign investors" bring into the country? view
• 4 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Government is notorious for concealing the truth. Could the Minister confirm or deny that the Governor of Central Bank of Kenya, Dr. Mullei, was indeed suspended for reasons other than the ones for which he has been charged; namely, that he was indeed pushing for the closure of Charter House Bank which was involved in evasion of taxes running into billions of shillings by Nakumatt Supermarkets? The owner of the bank is one politically-correct, Harun Mwau. view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. These Ministers and Assistant Ministers had their salaries increased last month so that they can be here to answer Questions. They also had their overseas trips cancelled by the President, so that they can be here to answer Questions. They are, in fact,very many and can assist each other to answer Questions. Could the Leader of Government Business undertake that public resources will not be wasted on people who are not willing to come and be in the House the way they were ordered by the President? view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Finance. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has cracked down on traders who do not have Electronic Tax Registers (ETRs). Last year, there were three court orders that were given in Nakuru, Kisumu and Bungoma. view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: The Assistant Minister is present. view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the court orders were given in Nakuru, Kisumu and Bungoma, staying the operation and implementation of the ETRs by the KRA and yet, this week, KRA has, indeed, taken action on many traders charging them over Kshs500,000 as penalties and so on. Consequently, a number of businessmen closed their shops yesterday and they are now protesting because the KRA has disregarded the court orders. They are also protesting against the manner in which, outside the law, KRA officers went into their shops and ordered them to sign charge sheets and pay the penalties. I want the ... view
