• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was interrupted yesterday soon after I started. So, I wish to anchor the Motion properly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Government of Kenya accounts for the year 2006/2007 laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 25th November, 2010. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to do this on behalf of PAC and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 181(3). Therefore, it is my pleasure and privilege to present to this House the Report of the Committee on the Government expenditure for the year 2006/2007 Financial Year. Also included is a Report on the expenditure of the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) for the years 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. I am view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have this entire Report to move. What I have done is to sum it up in my paper to move the Motion. The details of view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to move forward. If the word “clandestine” is making my brother, the hon. Minister, uncomfortable, then we would substitute it with “unclear.” Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee recommends that the Permanent Secretary, Treasury, should move with speed in ensuring that the Internal Loans Act is reviewed to provide for the approval of domestic borrowing by Parliament to safeguard it from possible abuse by the Government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also made the fourth observation, which was that auditing of Government entities and value for money audit had issues. We ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point of order is extremely valid, and I want to respect my brother for raising it. You were talking about awareness – you were not aware about yourself and hon. Uhuru Kenyatta being part of the Office of the Attorney-General. I want you to stretch your awareness slightly further and realise that you, the Attorney-General, the hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and I, the Chairman of PAC, Dr. Bony Khalwale, owe it to the generations of this country. We are the leaders of this country, and that is why we shall not stop insisting that you ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is very important. There is something called “institutional memory”. Hon. Amos Kimunya has that privilege. I also have that privilege because we both sat in the last Parliament. You will remember that there was the issue of promissory notes. The Attorney-General recommended that the promissory notes were irrevocable; I tabled a recommendation in this House. You came and told this House that the stuff had been locked out, and that no payment would be made. So, the problem is, after the assurance that you gave to this House to the effect that view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it comes to dealing with matters of land, the tallest man of the Committee, hon. Alex Mwiru, Member of Parliament for Tharaka, was a Lands Officer. He has been very invaluable because issues of land in this Report are numerous. I also have hon. Boaz Kaino, who is the senior-most by way of the time he has been in Parliament as well as by age. He is the senior most in the Committee, and the experience he has gained over the years has been very invaluable. Finally, I have in my Committee, the Member ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know, I have been speaking for so long. I am sorry for forgetting hon. Anyanga, the Member of Parliament for Nyatike, the only constituency which has part of it called “Migingo” in Uganda. This is a man who has worked in Government offices, and has a lot of experience in how officers do little things. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and ask hon. C. Onyancha to second the Motion. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this problem is not just restricted to Migori alone. It applies to many other parts in the country including Kakamega and even Mombasa. The gist of the matter is that traffic police own matatus and motorcycles. So, they scare away the boys who compete with them so that they can maximize on business. What has the Assistant Minister done to ensure that traffic police do not own matatus and boda bodas and in the process harass wananchi? view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we work very well with hon. Martha Karua. We have our own personal agreement that we should maintain very high standards, whether we are applying to Ministers who are our friends or those that we may perceive as not being close to us. I notice that in her letter, she said that under those circumstances, she was seeking your intervention to restrain the Committee from proceeding with the enquiry in breach of the Constitutional law. Since we want high standards for Ministers and for us Members of the Back-Bench, I find that hon. Karua is grossly out ... view
