• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a fact that the Assistant Minister who works under Mr. Mudavadi did issue a directive to the Town Clerk to ensure that these councilors were given a night out for two days and that the bill at the Blue Post Hotel was settled. That letter is dated 19th November, 2010 and signed by hon. Lewis Nguyai on the Government letter head, whose copy I wish to table. view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in view of the fact that the function has already taken place, that it is already public domain and in fact all the media covered it extensively, could the Minister now come clean and give us full disclosure on how much usually a councilor is paid on a night out so that this House can now work out how much money was used following this directive by your Assistant Minister? Secondly, you have said that you will take stern action against any public officer who is found to be abusing public funds. What will you do or ... view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for taking the trouble to show the House the ethnic backgrounds of these employees. I believe that he was trying to be transparent by showing that there is no ethnic community which is discriminated against. Could he tell us why Mathew Wamalwa, the Deputy Managing Director (MD), who comes from an ethnic community which does not have majority representation on this particular Authority, was denied the opportunity to become the MD and why did they instead choose to surpass him and give the job to somebody who was less experienced ... view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to portray me as a Member of Parliament who is attempting to pursue the interests of my community when he knows very well that as a patriot of this country, I am aware of the fact that he should not have allowed one community to get 45 per cent of the positions in the grades referred to? The position is that we should not allow one community to occupy more than one third of available positions in any organisation, which is around 33.33 per cent. Is ... view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I quite agree with you that the Standing Orders demand that one should not impute improper motive on an hon. Member without the due process. However, in view of the fact that the supreme law of this land, the Constitution of Kenya, provides that appointments in public sector will put into consideration regional and ethnic balance, how does the Chair want to guide this House because apparently, what was driving hon. C. Kilonzo was a desire that the new Constitution of Kenya be respected by all these Ministers? When you challenge ... view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that operations at the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) have been paralyzed following the suspension of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and, if so, what urgent measures is the Ministry taking to normalize operations at the Board? (b) What informed the decision to suspend the CEO? view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I have no problem in the request, the danger is that inside that Question, the real reason goes back to Butali Sugar Company. view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will wait until Tuesday at 2.30 p.m. view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is well aware that the Government’s financial system provides that donor funds are audited by the Controller and Auditor-General (C&AG) by the 31st of December. Could he, kindly, as he brings the Statement, also bring the report of the C&AG in respect of these particular funds? view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Three weeks ago, the Speaker of the National Assembly directed that he would be soon issuing a statement in respect of documents that have been tabled here by the hon. Minister for Agriculture and myself in respect of court rulings concerning the fate of licensing of Butali Sugar Factory. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while awaiting for that Statement, which has since become long overdue, the process of trying to delay the licensing ended up now attracting a further court process, and this process came to a conclusion in Kisumu yesterday and ... view
