• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You know the sort of the problems you have heard in printing of currency in this country. It is well known to those who have been in the Grand Coalition, because that is the time when there were a lot of intrigues regarding the whole idea of the De la Rue complex with regard to ownership and all that.

• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have answered the questions that have been raised and given a commitment to get a timeframe from the Governor of the Central Bank on when this can be effected.

I can assure the House that we will get a timeframe. view

• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to suggest that the matter should be investigated?

That is a crime and the police should simply arrest. view

A number of counties have, indeed, raised questions regarding this. We will discuss this matter substantively with the Cabinet Secretary before we bring the response. Two weeks is our request. This being a budget making period, I will be busy. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the El Nino funds is a matter that is vexing me too. This is because a substantial amount had been set aside for El Nino . It is good that the Member has requested a Statement on how that money has been disbursed. There have been questions regarding how money has been disbursed to some of the counties and how it has been used. I ask the clerks to expedite the sending of the requests so that we can get the answer in the next two weeks. view
