• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Are you referring to me? view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad the Minister has confirmed that this is not an organ that is carrying out delegated responsibilities from the Government. Having said that, could the Minister direct that this association only restricts itself to issues that have been flagged out by the auditor so that they are guided by actual Government audited accounts? It might not have escaped the Minister’s attention but this association continues rating his Assistant Minister as the most performing and his own constituency as performing equally well. Is this a coincidence or are the Minister and his Assistant Minister attempting to ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all due respect, this confuses us because we used the Order of Business to prepare and so we are ill prepared and these are constitutional Bills. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem at Mpeketoni affects almost 90 per cent of our schools, because basically with the increase in population of Kenya, the population of most schools is also increasing. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what plans he has to ensure that the infrastructure in all our schools receives development funds from the Budget without involving the DEB, the heads of schools and so on? How much do you want to set aside for every school so as to improve the infrastructure in view of the growing population of Kenya? view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on his own admission, the Minister has confirmed that the Treasury has refunded a total of Kshs356 million to the World Bank CIDA, UNICEF and DfID. This money was intended to give Kenyans development instead it has been used to pay money that was stolen by officers. Could the Minister tell the House what action the Government is going to take against the following officers:- (i) the project coordinating officers; (ii) the accountant in the Ministry of Education; (iii) the Accounting Officer, namely the Permanent Secretary; (iv) the Minister in charge. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the ... view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Minister in order to say that the Kshs356 million they refunded was not lost when it is a fact that after the ineligible expenditure was established and a decision was made to refund, the money which was refunded was not the money which the World Bank and those other institutions channeled to that Ministry? They got that money from other sources including money meant for drought mitigation. So if there was no money lost, why did they not use the same money that had been channeled to refund but ... view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Last week, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs undertook to issue a Ministerial Statement in response to my request for one in respect of the Government to Government procurement of the BVR for use in voter registration. He said he will do it today. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs should, at least, give us an explanation as to why he has changed from giving the Statement today to Thursday this week. That is because when the Speaker allowed Tuesday, it was after a request from them. We had demanded that the Statement be issued on Thursday last week; the reason being that there is the issue of urgency. Unless the procurement is concluded expeditiously, it means that belatedly as it might be, it might not be accorded sufficient time, so as to allow the Biometric ... view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you are deferring the Question, allow me to request that you also direct the Assistant Minister that when he comes, he should improve on the list. We can see names that resemble names of Members of Parliament, Permanent Secretaries and other senior officers. Could he kindly, through you, ensure that he describes the person? If it is a PS, he says, “Former PS of such a Ministry or current PS of such a Ministry”. Why? This is because some of these PSs will soon be coming before this House, in a few months’ time for ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The rich, the high and mighty like these Ministers do not have their children in public schools. The burden we are trying to solve here is, therefore, faced by children who go to public schools. This issue has a cascade effect if that money will be sent to schools and the head teachers overdraw from the banks so as to pay the supplies. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that they will take over all the penalties that have accrued on school accounts as a result of delayed remittance of the cash? view
