• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. What is wrong with these interim orders is as follows. Those of you who care to remember, after the NARC victory in 2002, patriotism was flowing in the veins of all Kenyans; small people and big people like Mwiraria. This is why this single sourcing was cancelled. The real benefit of it was that the new contract was cheaper and it was printing better currency. The price differential was that the new contract was one-and-a-half times cheaper than the old contract. So, after hon. Kimunya cancelled the new, better contract, he then ordered, ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mrs. Jacinta Mwatela, in her patriotism, defied hon. Kimunya’s directive. I have attached her evidence. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so that hon. Members can realize the seriousness of this session, she had to request the Chairman of Public Accounts Committee to request for special security for her to come and give evidence. When she was giving evidence, she gave it in camera. She then defied the Minister. According to her evidence which is annexed, there was a big verbal exchange between them, which is documented. view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Hon. Minister, I beg you; just wait, you will contribute. You will have time to read the letter. view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mrs. Jacinta Mwatela, because of that patriotism of doing the right thing---, the situation became more and more complex until she lost her job. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, come in Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u as the Governor of the CBK. After he came in, the interim orders started flowing one after another. As this continued, the legal officer of the bank or Secretary to the Board, Mzee Macharia Gikonyo, who again, had to be given special security to come and give evidence--- Again, requested to give his evidence in camera. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view

• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have made reference to a loss of Kshs1.83 billion. It is imperative that this House is sufficiently convinced that, indeed, that loss was there. I want to beg hon. Members to go to Appendix No.2. You will find on page 5 of Appendix No.2 how the loss was calculated. The Auditor-General did a special audit, and, when sitting in the Committee--- Ordinarily, the modus operandi is that in grave issues the Auditor-General personally sits in the Committee, but on lesser issues he sends his deputy. When sitting in the Committee he gave ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is an easy one. The Assistant Minister can paint it against the Constitution. Article 229(7) of the Constitution provides the procedure through which audit reports can find themselves here. It provides that:- “Audit reports shall be submitted to Parliament or the relevant county assembly”. view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to my senior colleague in Medicine, Dr. Eseli, he is quoting from a statute and the same Constitution, which he knows, tells him that in terms of comparison, when a statute competes with the Constitution, the Constitution takes precedence. It overrides. That is for the loss. Allow me now to go to the issue of the joint venture. We have made a specific recommendation that we are supporting the joint venture but we have pointed out in our recommendations anomalies which must be addressed by the Government if the Government wants ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I fail to finish due to the many points of orders, allow me an additional five minutes so that I conclude this important matter. We have now put the Treasury under pressure to now give more money to Telkom (K) and yet the intention of privatisation that led to the loss of 1,700 jobs at Telkom (K) or the reason was that we wanted to make it a profit-making State Corporation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we were shocked as Members of the Committee to hear both De La Rue Directors and hon. Amos ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I beg this House that to encourage Government into investment is something which is obtaining in other countries including the USA. But please, if you have to invest tell the country what you are investing in and that which you are investing in, let Kenyans know how much it is worth. You cannot just take hundreds of millions of Kenya shillings or Kshs600 million and say you are investing and then what I fear will happen as it happened in Telkom (K) is that when these investors will pack and go because there is no capacity for printing currency in ... view
