• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Leader of Government Business proceeded straight into the Statement after giving the order of business, but I had an inquiry to make on the order of business for next week. He did mention several Motions of various departmental committees that will be debated next week. There is a report that was tabled here several months ago by the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources on the Kiboroa Squatters in Trans Nzoia that has never been slotted for debate. The Kiboroa Squatters Report was tabled by Mr. Mutava Musyimi several months ago. When ... view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this matter was before the House recently and it generated a lot of heat. I am happy that the Minister is confirming that funds meant for the youth of this country under the KKV programme got lost. In Bangali alone we are talking of Kshs234, 000 but there are many other locations like the Macheo Location in Saboti Constituency where there are youth who did similar work but were never paid. However, our main concern is that from what the Prime Minister told us and with the challenges you are now admitting the KKV faced, we ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Motion. I have heard many speeches in this House, but none as great as that of Bishop Margaret Wanjiru. I must say it was inspired. I could feel the glory was right here in this august House. This is a day of history that this Tenth Parliament, yet again, goes into the annals of history for having had the privilege to make laws to disband the defunct ECK and to also make laws to set up the new IEBC. We congratulate all those involved in this process. This House also ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister for being here to respond to this matter of great national concern, particularly to the young people of this country. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: In my request, I was very specific. We were looking not just at the Second Component but the entire programme, beginning with the first phase. What we wanted to know is exactly how it has worked from inception to date. We are also asking how much has been lost, not just in the Second Component but from inception. I say so because this is not the first time this matter has come before this House. The matter came before this House way back on 25th November, 2009. The Prime Minister made a Statement in this House on the KKV programme. ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the HANSARD record of that day, it was very clear at that time. The Prime Minister said then:- “---As a result, we have encountered several administrative weaknesses. Members of Parliament and other community leaders were not involved. Monitoring was insufficient and, therefore, there were reported cases of misuse.” view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: The Prime Minister went on to say:- “I do not wish to minimise the importance of those weaknesses. I have accepted them as teething problems. That has been a learning process, and I have directed the staff in my office and other Ministries to take measures to correct the shortcomings and to go forward in the coming phase.” view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you look at the Prime Minister’s Statement at that time, there was clear admission that, without improved monitoring and control measures at that time, funds had been lost. I remember putting this question to the Prime Minister at that time. I am referring to page 4065 of the HANSARD, which is partly the record of this House’s proceedings of that day. I told the Prime Minister then:- “I am glad that the Government has realised the weaknesses in the KKV Programme, particularly lack of involvement of the local leadership, the area Members of Parliament, councillors and ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: That was the proposal that many hon. Members agreed with going by the record of the proceedings of that day. My question then was: “How much was lost?” and the Prime Minister replied:- “Mr. Njuguna wanted to know how much was misappropriated, and I do not want to talk about this – about how much was misappropriated at the time. I have said that there was overspending in procurement. This is a subject of investigations. So, I am unable to say how much was misappropriated.” view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the same question we are putting to the Prime Minister today. The prime Minister has said that nothing was lost. At that time, in November, he admitted that funds had been lost. So, I am saying, as we go forward, that was in 2009. This is today. view
