• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: It is three years since the officer died. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House that because one arm of the Government did not fail to do something, they have no responsibility over their own fallen officer? view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Minister for his appointment and for attempting to answer this Question. I will be lenient with him because he need 100 days of honeymoon to familiarise himself with issues at the Treasury. Apparently, this is one of them. If you will allow me, I will brief him. I am a Member of the Energy, Communications and Information Committee. view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister for Energy appeared before the Energy, Communications and Information Committee and confirmed that the shares were actually sold and that Kshs9.83 billion was raised. Indeed, we have information that out of that money, Kshs7 billion was taken to Treasury as ordinary revenue. He has confirmed receiving some money. A sum of Kshs2.5 billion was retained by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited.

• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for bringing out these guidelines. However, this is February. It is the third quarter of the financial year.

Having noted all the issues I have raised before, could the Minister finally confirm to this House, now that in the last budget ... view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to seek a Ministerial Statement on the state of allocations of farms at ADC Chepchoina Farm, which was supposed to be done in three phases in the last 20 years. Phase I was successfully done. Phase II, which involved the Turkana community, is yet to be done and we are told that the Minister is going to go to the third phase, before the second phase is undertaken, on the 21st February this month. I would like the Minister for Lands to state why Phase II allotees ... view

• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had my own issues but then a matter arose as I listened to Mr. Mbadi’s point of order to the newly appointed Deputy Leader of Government Business. I wanted him to confirm that. view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I am not querying it but I am just highlighting it for purposes of the record. However, the most important point is that you remember when we were going on recess last year there was a tag of war between the Executive and the Backbenchers again on the issue of the fate of the Finance Bill. The Government side promised the nation, through this House, that they would take advantage of the recess period to consult and engage Members of Parliament and other stakeholders in the country so that by the time we ... view
