• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. With utmost respect both to the Chair and to the Assistant Minister, he has repeatedly said that he is unable to get funds to get the doctors back to work. Could we defer this matter, so that the Prime Minister can come here and give us an instant solution? Tomorrow, we have a special sitting; we want doctors back in hospital. The Prime Minister should come and tell us about money. Stories hatutaki hata kidogo! view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the wrangles in the Board of M/s CMC Motors Group Ltd, which has been suspended from trading at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), may herald the collapse of the company? (b) What urgent measures is the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) taking to protect interests of the 15,000 Kenyan investors, who are faced with possible financial loss?

• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my first supplementary question will be in respect of his last response to part “c”, in respect of the MD, William Lay. When you suspend trading of a company at the NSE, to the shareholders, it is like you have money in the bank, but that bank is closed. Mr. Lay, who is at the centre of that storm and who is the reason why the company was suspended from the NSE, is actually an illegal immigrant. I challenge the Minister to prove that, that man has, indeed, a valid reason to be in Kenya as an ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that the CEO has a valid entry permit when, in fact, the CEO acquired the so-called entry permit four days after the Immigration Department rejected his application and gave him an official response of rejection? But thereafter, he went and drew from the political patronage that the Coalition Government gives to rich people and ended up with the document that the Minister is tabling? To support what I am saying, I have with me a document dated 26th May, 2011 from the Immigration ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to Article 11(1) (a) of the Capital Markets Authority Act, the CMA is supposed to remove all impediments to shareholders that deny them an opportunity to trade. In part (c), it is supposed to create and maintain an environment to make sure that investors, both local and international have confidence in the Kenyan capital market. Finally, it is supposed to protect the investor interest. In view of this provision of the Act and in view of the fact that I have now shown that two sides of the same Government are saying that he is not ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Because of the remark by the hon. Member, which the HANSARD would have picked; that I declare my interest so that I am not seen to be having any personal interest, the Minister has said in his response that he is aware of this problem and investigations are ongoing. Would I be in order to request the Chair that this matter be handed over to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, so that as they conduct those investigations, the Committee can then deal with the issue far away removed from ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just to augment the request by the hon. Member for Garsen that this matter be deferred, there are serious loopholes in the Mining Act that allow these people to exploit communities just as they do in Lurambi and Ikolomani; the resource centers for all the gold in Kenya. These people come there and exploit--- You do not know but they pay our local communities Kshs25,000. They go down and come out with Kshs2.5 million. You do not know, Mr. Speaker! Please, kindly, defer it so that we come and interrogate the Assistant ... view

• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the 270,000 children who partook of this maize have been exposed to a risk that could as well come many years later. Could the Minister clarify what de facto medical pre-emptive measures she has taken to ensure that these long-term risks are minimized? Secondly, there are two companies at the centre of this particular problem, namely, Ms. Shre Sai Millers and Ms. Proctor and Allan. A search done on these two companies is unable to establish who the directors of Shre Shai Millers are. Could the Minister confirm whether Mr. Abbas Gullet, the Secretary-General of the Kenya ... view
