• 24 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by asking, therefore, the Minister to inform the House the involvement of the Privatization Commission in any privatizations that have either taken place or are contemplated to take place in the near future. view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank the Minister for a very comprehensive Statement but there are a few clarifications that I would like to seek from him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister kept referring to Government initiated loans and then I think towards the end of his Statement, he did mention that, although these were Government initiated loans, they did not amount to loans guaranteed by the Government. So, could he clarify to this House that if these loans were not to the Government and were not guaranteed by the Government, what was the basis ... view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: So, could the Minister therefore tell us what the role of the Privatisation Commission which was passed in this House through the Privatisation Act is? view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am very happy today that, at least--- view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted the Minister to confirm to the House that the restructuring and privatisation processes are not being done simultaneously. Is it the Government's position that they are being done simultaneously or not? I have evidence which I am sure he can refute that, it has already been passed by the Cabinet that the two processes must be done simultaneously. It should be restructured to be sustainable. Could the Minister confirm, deny or clarify? view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion. THAT, noting that the sale of the Grand Regency Hotel has elicited immense public interest and concern; aware that the circumstances under which the hotel was sold require that investigations are carried out in an open and transparent manner, so that the public many have first-hand information on the investigations; cognisant that the House is in the process of initiating live broadcast of its proceedings; this House resolves that the investigation into the sale of the Grand Regency Hotel by the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, ... view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two issues that the Assistant Minister must address. The first issue is the differential between the price that MOCO has been paying for fuel and the actual pump price. Could the Assistant Minister give assurance to the House that the differential will not be borne by the farmers but by MOCO directors who are responsible for the action? Secondly, could the Assistant Minister assure this House that the Kshs203 million that MOCO borrowed from the Kenya Sugar Board was utilised in accordance with the terms contained therein? Could he produce evidence to show that, that ... view
• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are two very important clarifications I would like the Minister to make. In his Statement, he indicated that there was a problem of the shareholders agreeing on the basic issue of upgrading the refinery. This means that the Government wanted an upgrading but the partners did not. From that point of view, I find it very strange that the Government would still go ahead and want to procure services of a firm to do the upgrading which was already a matter that was not agreed upon by all the shareholders. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if ... view
