• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister should, in his Statement, table the full list of all senior officers in his Ministry who abetted this crime. We would also like him to indicate what action, if any, has been taken by his Ministry against these culprits. We would like the Minister to table the full list of all the schools where these losses occurred and in that list, he should indicate the amounts involved.

• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Finally, I would like the Minister to clarify in this Statement whether he will do the honourable thing, that is take full responsibility for the loss of this colossal sum of money meant for our free primary education by resigning as the Minister for Education. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I thank the Prime Minister for that Statement. However, he is not quite clear because we remember last year when 25 officers were arraigned in court because of what the KACC had found--- The 25 officers from the Ministry were being arraigned in court in respect of Kshs123 million, which was mainly imprest for workshops that the Ministry was arranging for teachers. That had nothing to do with direct disbursement of money to schools. The view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: report which is before us now talks about direct disbursement of money to schools, which has resulted in the loss of Kshs4.2 billion. Could the Prime Minister tell us, now that he has the benefit of hindsight, what he will do about the following officers who were responsible for direct disbursement? They were formerly at the Ministry but they have moved on. One is the Permanent Secretary who was the Accounting Officer. In this case, it was Prof. Karega Mutahi. The second one is the Chief Finance Officer, who in this case, was Alice Ngichu and the third one is ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the ground, this is a very hot issue. In fact, people have already fought over the matter. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what security arrangements he has put on the ground to ensure that the two warring parties are kept apart and assured of peace and tranquility? view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am rising on a point of order because, probably, when you were standing you did not hear what the hon. Member was saying. As he went out, he went shouting and protesting against your ruling. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you scan the document that has been tabled by the Minister, under Lurambi and Ikolomani in Kakamega, he is telling the House that in Lurambi, there is a market being constructed in Bukura which is 15 per cent on course. Another one is being constructed in Ikolomani, which is 25 per cent on course. The truth on the ground is as follows. When the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Committee of Lurambi sat, they identified Sijirai as the place for their fresh produce market. The one of Ikolomani identified Litambitsa. When you go to both Sijirai ... view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Minister indicate to the House when he is going to furnish that information because there is a serious issue here, where people might want to do double accounting? They can use the county council project to call it the fresh produce market project. When are you going to give us the answer for Lurambi and Ikolomani? view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have two things. The first one is that the Chair has found that the letter is admissible. The second point is that already it is on record in this House that the departmental committee took up a matter with this Minister and his Ministry, and on the strength of that matter, senior officers in his Ministry have been arraigned in court on matters of corruption. In view of this, would it not be in order that the House specifically recommends that this matter goes to the committee, with the express ... view
• 9 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member wanted the Assistant Minister to confirm whether in view of the enhanced budgetary allocation to the Ministry of Education, he was going to direct the TSC to employ the teachers who are on contract. The Assistant Minister said that he was not able to say that because he has not apprised himself with what he was given by the Treasury. Is he in order to refuse to answer that question when all that is required is for him to direct the TSC to employ these teachers as a ... view
