• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise, partly, as a Member of Parliament and mainly as the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee to thank this Committee for attempting to bring this exercise to a closure because, in our discharge of our duties as Members of the Public Accounts Committee, we know what role the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission plays. That we have been operating without that institution has been a big stumbling block. I rise to support the report by this Committee that Patrick Lumumba, Pravin Bowry and Prof. Onsongo be nominated to that institution. As I do ... view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand corrected. Several accusations have been raised by previous speakers against P.L.O. Lumumba. P.L.O. Lumumba is being accused of not deserving to take this job because he was the Secretary of the Bomas process that flopped. I want to liken P.L.O. Lumumba’s job to the job of the people who used to drive us when we used to come to Nairobi by bus. Inside the bus, you would always have a very faithful turn boy and a very competent driver. P.L.O. Lumumba, at the Bomas Process, was merely a turn boy. The driver of ... view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude my presentation, I want to appeal to Members that when we walk into this House, we do so, to make laws. For this particular case, we have not come here to make a law. We have come here to cast a vote on meritocracy. Is it possible that somebody who does not have a godfather, like Dr. Lumumba, can have his name in this House and people cast a vote purely because he is a good man? To me, the fact that Dr. Lumumba is not having a godfather, be it a ... view

• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Prime Minister what informed the Government’s decision to reinstate the civil servants who had been suspended on suspicion of involvement in the free primary education and maize scandals. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When the Office of the Speaker approved this Question and sent it to the Prime Minister, it was because of the realization that this was a matter that cuts across very many many Ministries including Office of the President, Ministry of Agriculture, Treasury and so on. If the Prime Minister for whatever reason might have lost his voice, he is not able to answer, the best he could have done is probably to pick one of his deputies instead of asking the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, who ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two arms to this Question that will require clarification; one is the maize scandal and the other one is the education scandal. I would like to beg your indulgence to seek two clarifications each under the maize and under the education issues. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could the Minister tell us why the Government ignored recommendations made by the KACC and the Inspectorate of State Corporations contained on pages 4, 5, 6 and 8 of the probe report that the following officers be subjected to disciplinary action: Romano Kiome, Ali Mohamed and Joseph Kinyua, three of them Permanent Secretaries; senior officers include Dr. Songa, Mr. Mariga, Mr. Maalim and then under the NCPB, Prof. Gideon Misoi, Robert Langat and James Boit? The second clarification under the maize scandal is: could the Minister clarify what action he is going to take or ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have patiently been watching the Minister reading and he is reading from some piece of paper here and yet, if he must bind this House to the findings of that probe, he should be reading from the report on the probe. I have a copy of that probe report with me here and what he is reading has nothing to do with the recommendations in the report. That is because in that probe, there are only three people who had been cleared. On page 10, the recommendation is as follows:- “That ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: So, why does he not table this report in the House since he has refused to allow the Attorney-General to do the tabling, so that we can cross check him? I table this one so that he can be--- view
