• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, could the Chairman table in this House the loans given to members of staff and directors of the NBK as well as a list of all the people owing that bank huge loans of Kshs10 million and above? When he tables that list, could he indicate the ones that are non-performing loans? view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Thank you for remaining hawk-eyed and seeing the right Standing Order. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, assist me to get the attention of the Chairperson. Equally important, I would like the Chairperson to prevail upon the Chairman. The fact that he is a financial expert does not mean that the rest of us who might be laymen in that field are ignorant. Information which he is withholding from me is now--- view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the information that he is trying to shield me from accessing is in possession of the Government. The supreme law which is the Constitution says in Article 34 that every citizen has the right of access to any information held by the State. Therefore, you are now advancing the same lie that was used by the Governor of the CBK in denying the--- view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. He is advancing the same misguided strategy that was used by the Governor of the CBK who wants to shield corruption that was perpetuated through Eurobond in the same way that we want to reject corruption that is being perpetuated--- view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, listening to the tone of the Chairperson and that of Sen. Kagwe and their demeanour, it should strike the Chair that what they are doing is over and above giving us information which we want. Since when was the Chairman given power to defend information which is not his? He is a conveyer. Can the Chair direct that it is not his responsibility to defend the ills that are ongoing at the National Bank? He should give us that information and we shall live with it. We are protecting the depositors. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairperson for that very good answer. Through you, could you alert the National Treasury that business people did not know that they are supposed to report to them that they are being owed money. Therefore, you cannot wait for those reports before you take action. Could you confirm that the Treasury will act on the strength of the following reports:- 1. The Report of the Controller of Budget - which you know and have read - which has confirmed that these pending bills are there. 2. The Reports of the Kakamega County Public ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader and also seize this opportunity to urge him to consider the relationship between the Senate and the media during the next meeting of the Rules and Business Committee (RBC). Early in the week, we debated the issue of the funding of the Council of Governors (CoGs) and made far-reaching contributions that finally culminated in a directive that the Chairman of CoGs appears before the Committee of the Whole, including the National Treasury, but nothing was mentioned in the media. In an off-the-cuff debate ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second this Bill which is in our circle of events in the Senate. I thank the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget for offering me the opportunity to second it. First, may I share with Members what Mahatma Gandhi said. This is what he said:- “The world has enough for the needs of all men and women, but not enough for the greed of a few men.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I look at the increase in the amount of money that we are taking to the county governments - that ... view
