• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I am asking--- view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not a Minister in this Government. The Government wrote to KRA on 4th May, 2010. They said that they did not have an answer. I wrote to KRA yesterday and they gave me an answer. They told me thus: “From records held in this Office, we have confirmed that Tiger Enterprise registered for a tax number online and obtained a PIN in July, 2010. However, the details of the directors of the same company are not in our records”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have also confirmed that such a company does not exist with the ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless we are dealing with a Government which is not serious in being accountable to the House and Kenyans--- How is it that the same Government can write a letter, which I hereby table, showing that they gave a company a PIN and Tax Number online and yet, it does not know who the directors of the company are? They even wrote indicating that they do not know who the directors are. Are we not exposing our country? What is the Assistant Minister doing to ensure that we get the names of the directors of those companies ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have tabled a letter from the Government which states all the facts. All we want is the Assistant Minister to respond to the questions and not to try to have this Question deferred. We have deferred this Question for a whole month now! view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife:- (a) How many elephants have been killed by poachers in the last eight years? (b) Who were the exporters of the consignment of elephant tusks worth over Kshs380 million and equivalent to 120 elephants killed, which was impounded by the Thailand Customs Department? view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem is not with the Ministry or the KWS. From the documents which were tabled by the Assistant Minister, the problem is with customs, specifically the KRA. Mr. Speaker, Sir, within the banking sector, there is something known as “know your customer”. You cannot open an account in a bank unless the bank knows, not just the name of the company, but the directors. If somebody is able to open a company and register for tax payment and the Government does not know that person, then obviously, activities of this nature will continue. What is he ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) what became of the approximately Kshs.5 billion held by the Central Bank of Kenya and other commercial banks in “frozen” accounts belonging to “pyramid schemes; (b) when the “pyramid scheme” victims will be refunded their money; and, (c) why the Government has failed to institute criminal proceedings against the directors/proprietors and officials of the schemes. view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is now very clear that the Government has no intention of helping victims of the pyramid schemes. Part “c” of my Question was very clear: “Why has the Government failed to institute criminal proceedings against directors, proprietors or officials of these pyramid schemes?” In his answer the Assistant Minister says very clearly that all complaints received from members of the public were channeled to the Banking Fraud Investigation Department. After investigations, he says very clearly that this unit forwarded names to the Attorney-General’s office. Is the Assistant Minister confirming that despite the Report by the Nyenze ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we have always said, there is no will from this Government to help the victims of pyramid schemes. The Assistant Minister says clearly that all victims’ complaints were investigated. The Nyenze Report was very specific and its recommendations were very clear; prosecute because there is enough law. Why did the Government fail to investigate those people while there were complaints from the victims? Why did the Government not investigate them? view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife the following Question by Private Notice. (a) How many elephants have been killed by poachers in the last eight years? (b) Who were the exporters of the consignment of elephant tusks worth over Kshs380 million and equivalent to 120 elephants killed, which was impounded by the Thailand Customs Department? (c) What action is the Government taking to address the issue of poaching? view
