• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I make these acknowledgements, I would like to raise a great issue of concern that we at PAC come across, on an almost daily basis. It is the issue of co-ordination of Government ministries and departments. That lack of co- ordination ends up giving the impression that there is no respect for decisions made by institutions. Like in this case, we have the Ministerial Tender Committee. As an institution, they mid-wifed the process of tendering and gave to the person who was most deserving. Somebody did not respect that. Somebody then went to the Public ... view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the last thing which we observed is the issue of impunity. How would a senior accounting officer find that there was an irrevocable letter of credit which had been given and then goes on and revokes the same letter? I am glad that it is timely now. The sutchers have not expired and they are now hopefully going to be received by the Minister and they are going to be given to the needy patients in the hospitals so that operations in our theatres can go on. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I move. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. According to the traditions of this House, the Minister should have come before the Mover of the Motion. So, I urge the Chair to find that he has been overtaken by events and to put the Question. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Joint Sittings of the Public Accounts Committee and the Departmental Committee on Health to investigate the procurement of medical goods and equipment for the Ministry of Medical Services by Dol International Limited and associated companies in the year 2006. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Due to the fact that I was laying a report on the Table, I did not follow the Attorney-General very clearly. Is it true that he has laid copies of the Report by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission that was enquiring into the maize and Free Primary Education (FPE) scandals and if so, if you remember, you had given a particular directive? view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I also congratulate the doctors and nurses who work at this hospital. The pressure on this hospital is because it serves the vast area of the North Rift, Central Rift and the entire Western Province. So as to relieve this pressure, what plans does the Minister have to fast-track the upgrading of the Provincial General Hospital, Kakamega, into a teaching and referral hospital attached to Masinde Muliro University? view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We were waiting for the end of the investigations, so that the Permanent Secretaries and other senior officers involved could either be cleared or be found to have done something wrong. The only way that this House would have known that is if that report had taken the legal route, which requires that it goes through the Attorney-General. That has not been done. We are satisfied that the investigations are complete because the Executive which ordered them to be done has used that information to then act, namely, it has lifted the ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: But I am on a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member should form a habit of attending the House continuously. He would have known the natural history of this issue, namely, a report has since been tabled in this House which could only be confirmed or otherwise by the Attorney-General tabling what he calls his authentic document. It is, therefore, important that even if the President or the Head of State is using his powers within the Constitution, it be known to Kenyans that: “Yes, those powers are being applied, but the probe has found the following”. So, it will be important that you find ... view
