• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House actually contributed to the substantive Motion on appointment of the directors of the Board on 8th September, 2011. At that time, the Minister had given us 10 names, which we vetted, as a Committee, and approved eight and declined approval of two. Subsequently, the Minister brought the two names again. We have been able to approve one and decline to approve the other one. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: The matter here is to ensure that the Board is fully constituted, so that it can offer the services that hon. Members keep on enjoying. I do not want to talk much. I just want to acknowledge the fact that the Board is going to work even extra hard this year to ensure that the money for the CDF is released. I want to congratulate the Acting Minister for Finance because he has given an undertaking that he is going to obey the law, and he has already obeyed the law by ensuring that we have money released as per ... view

• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the appointment of this young man will bring a wealth of experience, youthfulness, excitement. As an appointee by the Minister for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 he is supposed to take care of the regional balance when the other nominating bodies have not factored in that kind of representation. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on that score, I want to, again, acknowledge the support by the Minister for Planning, hon. Oparanya, and the Minister for Finance, hon. Githae, for their continued support to the CDF kitty. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to assure hon. Members who have raised the issues of bureaucracy that they can take this one home, that at the Constituencies Fund Committee (CFC), we have directed the Board not to reintroduce bureaucracy through the back door! view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: We want things to be simple; we want things to be expedited and we do not want to go back to where we came from! The CDF was kept away from bureaucracy; they cannot take us back! That is the requirement by the Committee and you can trust this Committee and your Chairman to effect such issues. We have said no circulars should be issued by the Board without us vetting them; the Board is an implementing body of this Committee and they cannot purport to behave like some Treasury mandarins, whom I know my good friend, hon. Githae, is ... view
