• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the Minister's response. However, as you heard, regarding part (c) of the Question, the Minister said that his Ministry and the Authority have no immediate plans to supply water to those towns, since they fall under the mandate of other departments. Here comes the relevance and importance of having the Prime Minister coming to this House and answering questions regarding some of these cross-cutting issues. When I asked this Question, I believed truly that the Minister would give me a relevant answer. If you knew that you have no obligation to supply water to ... view

• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to bring to the attention of the Minister that two years ago, I raised the matter of Maragwa District Hospital, which up to now does not have wards, yet this is supposed to be the district hospital. Since then, I have been promised, and the July 2, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1579 Minister may wish to refer to the HANSARD or to his predecessor, that some sufficient budget would be provided to put up wards to ensure that there is one for children, men and women. As we talk now, the only semblance of a ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the Budget making process is solely undertaken by the Executive Arm of Government; further aware that the Legislature is conferred oversight functions by the Constitution and other written laws, this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament entitled the Fiscal Management Bill to provide for the democratization, regulation and oversight of the national Budget making process and for connected purposes. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I consider the issue of Budget as a very important activity for a country, and, indeed, for ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, my colleague needs to know that what was barred from being introduced is matters and business emanating from the Ministry of Finance and not other quarters of the House. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, legislation and adoption is where this House is involved; to discuss, consider and--- view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was describing to the hon. Members the four stages or processes that a budget of a country entails. The third one is execution. Execution is where after the budget is passed, the executing and implementing agencies or arms of an organization or Government now go out to ensure that the objectives, as were set out in the budget, are achieved. Of course, the final one is devolution and audit, where those that are the beneficiaries or those that mandate the budget and pass it, are given a chance to consider whether value for ... view

• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. In view of the fact that you are aware that a few minutes ago there was lack of quorum in the House, which indicates hon. Members' unwillingness and disinterest to participate in what we are currently discussing, 1386 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 25, 2008 could I be in order to request that the Mover be called upon to respond? view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I reckon that the Minister is saying that they will computerise the records when funds become available. My understanding is that until and unless he brings a request to this House or to the Minister for Finance, the Minister for Finance will never, on his own volition, provide money to computerise the records. Indeed, I know the problem of search has been very grave. That notwithstanding, what informed the Minister to raise the search fees from Kshs100 to Kshs3,000? This is a colossal sum of money. There must be something that informed him to raise the fees ... view
