• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government admit that he was not the tenderer and does not have the details of this transaction. You have also heard the hon. Member say that, in fact, the seller in the agreement acknowledged receipt of Kshs110 million while the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government has told us that he paid Kshs283 million. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while in support of your consideration to have this matter investigated further, the variance is too big for us to leave it casually. ... view
• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Statement that the Minister has made he has not told us the steps he will take to protect the Kenyan public. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he has also admitted that those schemes were registered as co-operative societies. Could he clarify what measures he will take to punish the officers within his Ministry who allowed a fraudulent organization to be registered as a co-operative?

• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: But, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Coast Water Services Board (CWSB) has been making profits since its inception and the Assistant Minister has said that, for the last ten years, the water rates have not been increased. We appreciate that, maybe, there is a reason for it to be increased. But in these hard economic times, and given that the CWSB itself was not running any losses, what justification was there to gazette new water rates, making the water more expensive at this time? Why could the Assistant Minister not wait, at least, for one or two years for the economic ... view
• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chair ordered last week that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government would be responding to a request for a Ministerial Statement concerning councillors. I can see that the Assistant Minister is here. He is sitting very comfortably and smiling. I believe that means he has the Statement ready.
