• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Clearly, when the Minister was answering, he said the KACC has done investigations and it has concluded. So, will I be in order, therefore, to request the Chair to ask the Minister to table that report? Then we can compare whether it is in fact the same that he is referring to or he is talking about a different thing! view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been listening carefully to the hon. Prime Minister. While I take the point he is making, is he not aware of the Standing Orders that clearly stipulate that when Parliament requires the services of any experts to assist it in its investigation or carrying out inquiry into any matter, they can, in fact, call upon those experts to come and assist Members of Parliament? view

• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to second this very nice amendment. I want to congratulate hon. Ogindo for coming up with this amendment which seeks to amend the Minister’s request, so that he gets only a quarter of the Vote on Account. I want to explain it very simply. First, we have a lot of respect for him, but he must put his foot down with the Treasury officials. I am glad they are here listening. Traditionally, we have approved 50 per cent of the Vote on Account for the simple reason that the Budgeting process ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Prime Minister for pointing out that fact, but with regard to the amount of money that will be required by the IIEC, that is a Vote which can be separated and looked at separately, and he knows. The point I am making is that there has got to be a change of attitude at Treasury. While he might be very correct on that particular Vote, if you look at all the other Votes, you will see that the Government does not need a half of the Budget. I am starting with Vote R1, Ministry ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want hon. Ojode to take this matter very seriously, because he is not from Treasury. What we are saying is that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is requesting Kshs20 billion for six months for his Ministry. What we are saying is that the correct thing, so that there can be discipline even in the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, is to be given money for two months. Within those two months, the Minister will have appeared before the relevant Parliamentary Departmental Committee and, in accordance with the ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, who is also my friend. However, I need to point out, unless I am reading from a different book; that the net Approved Expenditure for 2009 that was tabled in this House was Kshs41,653,800,000. The one that he has brought here under total net Estimates for 2010/2011 is Kshs41,702,179,390. What I am saying--- view

• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have got three quick points that I want to make. First of all, it should be understood that we are unhappy with the manner in which the Treasury wants to bulldoze this Budget through the House. In the Budget Committee, we passed the Budget Policy Statement and in it, this House, through the Budget Committee, set a limit the Minister or the Treasury to incur a public debt. The Treasury went and over-shot the limit we set in this House by Kshs59 billion. That means that they did not listen to the directives of ... view
