• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek the indulgence of the House. I will be out of the country on duty for the whole of next week. I beg that the Statement be issued on Tuesday after next week. view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. ISSUANCE OF MINISTERIAL STATEMENT OUTSIDE THE HOUSE view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Because we are now being covered live, it is important that you allow us to set the record straight. The reason why there is lack of quorum is because there is a requiem mass that is going on for our two departed colleagues. view

• 12 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has just concluded the Report on how the country performed economically arising from the Budget that he read to this House in the Ninth Parliament. I recall that when he read that Budget, the Ninth Parliament was so uncomfortable that they forced the Government to bring the Budget Bill. This Bill was dealt with up to the Second Reading only that it did not come out of the House Business Committee (HBC) for the Third Reading. In that reading, he has also talked about the performance of the economy which is covered in the Economic ... view
• 12 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is this: According to international standards of Parliamentary practice, Economic Surveys are normally tabled one month in advance so that by the time the Minister reads the Budget, hon. Members are not in the dark. Could the Chair rule on what we are going to do in respect of the issue of the Budget Office? This is because we are in the dark. Money keeps on being skewed in the allocation. Regions that have serious disparities are not benefiting from the Budget. view
• 11 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank you for allowing this Motion. I also congratulate the Vice-President, Minister for Home Affairs and Leader of Government Business for thinking that there is need for us to have this adjournment. I support the Motion and also send my condolences. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I think about hon. Kipkalya Kones, he comes from a special pool of politicians in this country. Allow me at this moment to also pay tribute to those particular politicians, because they are men and women of actions and not just words. Mr. Kones was a ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue that is about to be responded to by the hon. Assistant Minister is very important. It is so important that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has ordered for a special investigation into the Initial Public Offer (IPO) of Safaricom Limited and Telkom. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seeking the indulgence of the Chair - and I have discussed with the Assistant Minister - that we defer this Ministerial Statement until that special audit is concluded. That is because it is raising very important issues; including the fact that, ... view

• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in both the prospectus and what the Assistant Minister is calling the addendum, there was a deliberate effort not to inform the investing public of one risk. That risk was that there was a debt of Kshs68.8 billion that investors were actually buying into. Could the Assistant Minister tell us why they misled the public? The public got into this IPO without having been told that there was this risk. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Government wanted to sell Safaricom, it wanted to sell 40 per cent of its shareholding. The refusal by the ... view
