• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because my time has run out, may I conclude by saying that the National Cereals and Produce Board Act disallows appointment of millers as directors of the Board. The hon. Minister has contravened the Act and appointed one Mr. Mohamed Islam Ali as a Director, when he did so recently. The same Ali is the Managing Director of Mombasa Millers. That is a milling company that received the highest allocation of maize--- view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I advise the hon. Member to just take a slight little time to go and familiarise himself with the NCPB Act. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Criminal Investigations Department, on the word of the Minister himself, is now there at NCPB. So is the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission and the special forensic audit that has been ordered by the Prime Minister to go on with the case. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: If, indeed, these bodies are there, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is all the more reason why the Minister should step aside. He should not fear that he is being sacked. You are merely stepping aside to allow the law to take its own course. We have already demonstrated in this country through the Motion of censure against hon. Kimunya, that Ministers can come back. It is through the Motion of Kenyatta that Paul Ngei came back. So, the Minister should step aside. In so doing, he should do so alongside with the following officers:- view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The Managing Director of NCPB, his Personal Assistant, Sales and Marketing Manager and the Chief Accountant of NCPB. All of them should go home to allow for those investigations to bear fruits. That way, we can have food on the tables of Kenyans. Kenyans can afford to go to the supermarkets and buy food at a realistic price. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion has been very difficult to move because I am continuously being interrupted. But I will continue soldering on by reminding hon. Members that I know the ruling of the Speaker. The ruling of the Speaker--- view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to move the Motion and ask Dr. Eseli to second. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity in responding to say the following. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, as we go to voting, people have been extremely Biblical this afternoon. It is not too late for us to make up our mind, so that we vote on this Motion of welfare, for the welfare of the starving Kenyans. It takes around seven days for somebody to starve to death. I am wondering, since these people who were starving were reported over several months ago, how many of them are still alive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as evidenced by the behaviour of some of the contributors, corruption is, indeed, very difficult to fight. Corruption is so difficult ... view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: It is true that even I have been threatened, but, because I reported it to a police station, already the police are holding one person who attempted to threaten us. There is a lot of unity in the House. How I wish this unity will be seen in the outcome of the vote. If our unity will not be seen in our voting in support of the starving Kenyans, then it will be unity in corruption. view
