• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank the PIC for the good work that it has done. I only take a few exceptions with the House Business Committee (HBC). This Report, as you have indicated, was tabled in the House in April, last year. It has taken almost 18 months to be brought here for adoption. I wish it was brought earlier so that action could have been taken against the people who are involved. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: As Hon. George had indicated, the Chairperson and I are here for the implementation. We are just waiting for the adoption of the Report, so that we can take up some of these issues that have been indicated in the Report. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: It is very sad that today, Kenyans are still running around the streets with jerricans to get some fuel because of the shortage which has been caused by the manipulation of cartels in the oil industry. It is very unfortunate that they tried to kill the modernisation of the oil refinery. All they were trying to do was for them to continue getting a lot of money from innocent Kenyans.This is unfortunate. As I appreciate the good work of the Committee, I also take exceptional issues with the Committee for not naming names. I do not know whether it is ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: give names of the specific persons. If it is Hon. Gikaria who was the then Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, so be it. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let him be mentioned so that people can know. I am being told that it is a governor. This is just an illusion because I do not know which governor it is. Tomorrow, that governor or another officer might be coming here for vetting and we should have had the names. This is very important. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The House Business Committee should have slotted this Report for debate earlier. Just the other day, we looked at the Public Audit Bill, 2014, and very good recommendations have been done by the Committee regarding the Auditor-General and where he should audit. It is a 50-50 situation. The law does not allow the Auditor-General to go anywhere close to that corporation. This should have come much earlier. I do not remember seeing some of these recommendations for purposes of amending some. They have also indicated a clause that is in contravention of the Constitution and which needs to be amended. ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of the Essar Company. I just wish the Committee had indicated if it still exists. I heard Hon. Kazungu say that Essar is now Yu Mobile Company. Are they the same directors? Even if we were to take action, what action will we take and against who? It is unfortunate. I wish the Committee had got a CR12 for us. I think it is not even a Kenyan company. It is a Mauritian company because it was registered in Mauritius. It is important for us to understand whether Essar is still in existence or not. ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: have lost millions of shillings. People have now identified themselves in different names to come, swindle some money and take off again. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the recommendations of the Committee. view
