I am talking about against what happened early this year. The Government tried to give subsidized maize flour. We all know what happened later, but Kenyans never complained. I ... view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am supporting the Price Control (Essential Commodities) Bill, although I still believe in free market enterprise.

• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue that affected Voi Bus Park has affected many bus parks in this country. These are mainly the bus parks which were being done under the Urban Development Authority (UDA). Among them is Kitui Bus Park.

• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) whether he could explain why the procurement of the Enterprise Resource Planning System at a cost of Kshs.135 million by the Kenya Medical supplies Agency (KEMSA) through Tender No. KICT/KEMSA/2008-2009 was done through the Kenya ICT Board instead of KEMSA or the Ministry’s established procurement framework; (b) whether he could provide details of the members of the Tender Evaluation Committee, including their names, employer and their relevant competence as far as this job is concerned; and, (c) whether he could also provide a copy of the signed Evaluation Report, the Tender Opening Documents ... view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for that answer.

KEMSA handles procurement of about several billions. view
