• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised because if a crime has been committed and the Government knows where this particular organisation is, must it be reported first for them to take action? Why does the Ministry not go ahead to investigate this organisation and have this money refunded? view
• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, organisations of this kind are many; who go around swindling money from the poor. Similar Questions have been raised in this House. What is the Government doing to ensure that before an organisation starts collecting money from the community, it is vetted to ensure that it is genuine? view
• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: That is the position, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. They have already reported to the police and they were told it is a civil case. That is why they went to the DO's office and then to the DC. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are loud consultations coming from the corner at which hon. Wanjala is mourning. Could you ask him to mourn quietly? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have over 80 Ministers and Assistant Ministers. Are they really taking the business of this House seriously? We have seen this happen very many times. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir the issue of agricultural extension officers and veterinary officers is very worrying in this country. Although the Ministry has the names in the office, some of these people must be ghost workers because we never see them in the field. So, could the Assistant Minister consider privatising those services? view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Information and Communications the following Question by Private Notice. 3688 (a) Is the Minister aware that mobile phone charges (air time) in Kenya are too high? (b) Is he further aware that mobile phone companies are making abnormal profits as a result? (c) What is the Minister doing to protect mobile phone users from exploitation? (d) How many more mobile phone companies does the Government plan to license and when? view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not convinced. The profits being made by these companies are abnormal. One of the companies made Kshs11 billion in one year; after taxes it came to Kshs8 billion. In business, if you break even, you are a good businessman; if you make profit, you have the welfare of your customers. But when you make abnormal profits, then you become an unscrupulous business man. Can the Assistant Minister tell us how fast he is going to register more companies and how many? view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) whether he is aware that Sofia-Kisiiki- Ngoliba Road is impassable due to the collapse of two culverts at Kisiiki; and, (b) what urgent measures he is taking to end the suffering to residents of the area. view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, without protection laws, the mobile phone companies, even if they were four, will still form cartels to exploit mobile phone users. This Government is very keen on collecting taxes. So, they are very happy when they receive fat cheques. But they are not looking back to see at what cost. What is the Government going to do to ensure that the companies which are already there and the new ones do not form cartels and exploit mobile phone users? view
