• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: In Marakwet, we have a community called the Sengwer. The Sengwer share the same culture with the Ogiek. The policy of this Government is that they do not respect the culture of Ogieks and Sengwers who have been living in the forest for a long time. Now that they have moved them out of the forest and this Parliament is supporting them to do so, what arrangements are you making to ensure that you create an artificial forest somewhere where they can practice their culture? view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this man who has been kicked out because of his performance at the New KCC, received a Presidential award. Steadman opinion polls were done and he received commendation together with Safaricom Ltd. and Equity Bank. The Marketing Society of Kenya also rated him as number one performing business manager in the entire marketing society. Finally, this man the Minister has sacked was reported by the Financial Post as being one of the most successful business managers in East and Central Africa. So my two questions are: What special interests did the Minister have in one Ms. Milka ... view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, could the Minister clarify; he has painted this MD as a thief and a dishonest person. What report can he table in this House to show that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) and the Efficiency Monitoring Unit (EMU) were brought on board so as to advice him professionally? view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate that because you are perusing the letter under the pressure of also presiding over the House, you might not have seen paragraph 1 where the Chair tells the Minister that Mr. Mwangi, indeed, wrote to them requesting that his contract be renewed. I request the Chair to appreciate that some of the documents tabled by the Minister, and the need for professional advice to have been the one informing the Minister by way of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) and the Efficiency Monitoring Unit (EMU), I beg that you find ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of Order Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a member of the Parliamentary Reform Caucus, and we have just come from a meeting where we have decided that in view of the fact that the ODM will be having a meeting in Mombasa, and pastoralist leaders will also be having a similar meeting, matters of quorum will be a problem. We have requested that the conference you are talking about be held next week. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to the bid evaluation report and the recommendation for award of contract, the company that was awarded the tender by the name of Alliance Technology, gave a bid of Kshs110.4 million. When those people sat, they awarded them the tender and recommended that the company should be given the tender not at Kshs110.3 million which it had tendered, but at Kshs135.8 million. Could the Assistant Minister explain where he got the higher figure from? view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The document that I am referring to is the same one that was tabled in this House. If the Assistant Minister can care to check on page 18 of that document, he will see that he has given a figure of Kshs135.3 million. That is what you awarded. Then the bid was for Kshs110.4 million. That is found on page 12. Could the Assistant Minister tell us where he is getting the figure of Kshs24 million that he is using as a justification for the difference? Where are you getting it ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had requested that he tables the document that justifies the Kshs24 million. Surely, when he says that the Kshs24 million was for recurrent expenditure, it is only after we have read that we can appreciate what recurrent expenditure can be there on a tender, moving from Kshs110.3 million to Kshs135 million. What specific recurrent expenditure activities are you talking about? view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We, as a House, are very worried that on this most urgent matter, the Assistant Minister is telling us that the Cabinet will consider this. We are aware that this Cabinet is unable to sit, leave alone being able to agree. What assurances could he give the House that he will come here with an answer and when? view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am amazed that the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya wants to give us the impression that he is holding brief for the view
