• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Midiwo stood up before I concluded my point on this issue. What I am saying is that for those who care to know, we have cleared the backlog that was in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). We, therefore, have an opportunity to do deal with real issues. We shall be doing more of special audits because we are current. Therefore, we have no reason to fear that money will be misused. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that point of order is frivolous. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: In conclusion, the point I am trying to make is that all the presidential candidates should know that when we go into the campaigns next year, you might be subjected to a live debate as presidential candidates. Kenyans are going to ask you about your stand on funding the security system in the country. If you tell people, especially those who live around the border with Somalia, Ethiopia and Uganda, that you are going to remove money from security, we are going to be afraid of voting for you as our presidential candidate. I believe that at the moment, the ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to refuse to answer the question by Mr. Ruteere when, in fact, her Ministry has a letter – which I will table – which shows that Kshs29 million was deposited in the account of NEMA and it was intended for use by NETFUND? The Assistant Minister, by refusing to answer this, is simply shielding lack of transparency and accountability in this Ministry because even the Kshs50 million that Mr. Jamleck Kamau talked about, the Treasury was forcing the Permanent Secretary to spend. Here, the same ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House that the PS, Treasury, cannot direct the PS in her Ministry when we all know that the Treasury supervises all the Accounting Officers of the Government of Kenya? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for that very comprehensive answer, especially in respect of the plans his Ministry has between now and 2016 for Thika District Hospital in respect of maternity. It is a matter of statistics that Kakamega, Vihiga, Nyamira and Kisii counties have the highest fertility rates in the country. Therefore, it is there where maternity services are most needed. Could the Minister confirm that along with this comprehensive plan he has for Thika, he also has a similar plan for the other areas? If he has it, could he undertake to give ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us in his answer that this project was being interfered with by local politicians. Could he confirm that the politicians he is talking about are either Mr. Kigen who is seated right behind me, or the area councilor, Mr. Joseph Cheruiyot? I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm whether, indeed, Mr. Joseph Cheruiyot is the one who influenced the identification of that particular contractor, supplied sand, hardcore and cement? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Can you guide us? Since the Assistant Minister has admitted that he is unable to respond to my question, can you ask him to go back and come back with the answers to our questions? These questions are very important because they touch on matters of transparency and accountability and corruption in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. The Members will remember that for one month, patriotic Kenyans kept vigil at Jogoo House and their intention was to capture the imagination of the leadership of this country to a matter of grave national importance, namely, the loss of Kshs4.2 billion that was meant for free primary education. They were not noticed and patriotically, they decided to march to State House. While on their way, they were arrested. I would like the Minister to clarify the ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. These young people are being held under the usual Kenyan conditions that are not acceptable and they have committed no offence. Secondly, some of the young people have refused to eat. The few wellwishers who are taking decent food for them, the food was eaten, I understand, by some policemen who were on duty. In view of this urgency, could you order that this Statement is issued tomorrow in the afternoon? view
