• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: I can authoritatively say that my position on Prof. Ndung’u is known. I pronounced it over three years ago and we were supported by the Cockar Commission Report, which found that he was not fit to hold office. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: That being the case, and because of Prof. Ndung’u, I am about to propose an amendment that might be perceived to giving him an escape window. I want to put it to the good Professor that him and I and others in this House, we have gone to school properly. He should now live with his conscience and ask himself what he really wants to do. That is because, maybe, even if we pass a Motion that says he goes, the same forces that protected them, I am sure they are still there. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: So, should we fight Members of Parliament from both sides of the House to the extent that we kill this good Report because we are aiming at an individual? I beg that maybe that should not be the business of this House. In this Report I see no evidence that the Governor withheld money; US Dollars, from the market. If the Professor had withheld foreign exchange from the market, then you would have said that he has a charge to answer. That would have been backed by evidence. Number two, there is no evidence in this Report which shows what ... view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: I Never interrupt you! view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank him very much for his information. Allow me to continue debating. I was just giving the two examples. The hon. Minister for Finance told us about the case of Rwanda. The other thing he forgot--- view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, I would like to be informed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is my time. This issue of fiscal policy is one that we have to think about because who is responsible? Responsible people are not the people at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). So, we should not fail to apportion blame to the extent that we forget the amount of opulence by way of spending that is being practised by the Government. For example, at the just ended Heads of State Meeting of the Commonwealth Countries, Rwanda took nine representatives including the President but Kenya took 88. By the way, the money that the 88 ... view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: So, the person on trial here should be the person who controls spending. The example of mass import of second hand mitumba cars and second hand mitumba clothes which we do not need has been raised in this House. The contribution by this poor fiscal policy should not be the reason why as an honourable House, we should be making judgment against the Governor of the CBK. Fiscal policy depends purely on us, on the side of the Government by way of Cabinet Ministers and Permanent Secretaries. I want to simplistically look at the Governor of the CBK as a ... view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to make conclusions. We have the issue of the law. We are attempting without realizing it to amend the Constitution of Kenya to direct the Governor of the CBK. He is cushioned by Article 231 of the Constitution and Cap. 491. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me conclude. Cap. 491 recognizes that insulation and it has created a window through which you can attempt to direct the CBK. That window does not include parliamentary action. It provides that it is the Minister who can, for a period of six months, direct the CBK to behave in a particular manner. Finally--- view
