• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to repeat what I said because you were consulting. What I mentioned is that earlier on in the afternoon, I advised the honorable Senator that the schedules attached to the statement have been revised and that I have a new schedule. Could we, therefore, defer this question to tomorrow so that I can give you a statement with the new schedule? He insisted that I can go ahead the way it is and that I should just give him this statement. That is why I gave him a copy of that schedule – not the ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, let me clarify, because it is very important. There is a misconception in the way this matter has been taken. What I gave the Senator this afternoon is not a statement – and I have said that several times – it is not a statement; it is a schedule that I wanted to share with him because it really helped to address some of the issues. Actually, it just replaces the schedule which is attached; it does not change the statement. Nonetheless, if we can go ahead on the basis of even the old one--- I will ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I agree. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Excellent. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you go through this statement, it is clear that various loans and grants that have been given by the Government of China to this country have substantially been spent on projects that serve the entire nation. I want to give examples; the largest chunk out of the over Kshs400 billion is on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project which serves the entire country--- view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Can I finish? Can you allow me to continue expressing myself? view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Yes; really. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would really appreciate if the Senator would allow others to talk, because I have to present my argument before you can understand wherever we are going. So, the point really is about the skewed allocation and I was trying to explain that there is nothing about the distribution of loans and grants from this Government in general and specifically on health; the ones that he mentioned. The Moi University Teaching and Referral Hospital is a teaching and referral hospital. This is not a facility that you can say will be specifically serving a particular region or ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, with all due respect, you should allow me to respond because the procedure of the House is such that if a Statement is tabled on the Floor, it means that it is with the Clerks-at-the-Table and if anybody needs it, he can get a copy from them. As Senators, when we are presenting Statements as Chairs, do we make photocopies and run around to give them to every Member? view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, as you earlier on ruled, I only debated the question of the Statement which was validly before this House. I withdrew this other one and, therefore, it is wrong for you to tell me to bring back a schedule that I had already withdrawn. I have only agreed to go ahead, so there is no document. I will only be presenting this one and there is nothing else to be debated. view
