• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the only other thing I want to add is that we have money lying idle at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). Can something be done about that? Can we have the Auditor-General audit the governors who are unable to use and allocate that money, so that we can be able to name them? This is because I know there is a tendency of some of them misusing the money. But we are told that there is money lying at CBK. I am pushing my governor to use the money. But I think it is time ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The answer given by the Chairman of the Committee has aroused some interest. I come from the border of Uganda, which is very close to South Sudan. I thought I should just add something. As the Chairman goes to find out from the people concerned; there is a saying in Kiswahili: view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I think Kenyans have done quite a bit to the new State of South Sudan. As I am talking here, very many teachers have gone to South Sudan. Very many people from my constituency went there to do some work. I have buried about four of them who have been killed in South Sudan. Hon. Speaker, Kenyans are known to be enterprising. I want to ask the Chairman of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations to further find out whether South Sudan is committed to working with Kenyans who are trying to help develop that country. We have very ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the independence of South Sudan is a brain-child of this country, but the way South Sudan people have treated our people leaves a lot to be desired. That is why I am asking the Chairman, apart from just finding out from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs--- You can see from what we have read that the President has done so much to try to bring South Sudan close to us. But I am not happy in the way they have been treating our people. I have buried four people in my constituency in the last three months and ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I want take this opportunity to also contribute on this Report of PAC. First of all, I do not know what has happened in the last three years. We are now doing postmortem and I do not know how this is going to help us. This is because I was expecting that the report we were going to get was for 2011/2012; but now we are doing a report that has actually been overtaken by events. I think so much has happened and we have even changed the Constitution. ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: no confidence in our country from some of the foreigners who want to do business with us. It erodes confidence in our country and in whatever we are supposed to do. That is why today, when you look at some of the foreign investors; they prefer going do business elsewhere, for example, Rwanda a small country. I have been to Rwanda and I worked there when I was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Kodak. The country was just coming up and we were far ahead of them. Yesterday, as one of the hon. Members just mentioned, the Rwanda I ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Government must do something about it. The accounting officer whether it is the Permanent Secretary, the Cabinet Secretary or heads of departments should be held accountable. This is because we are talking about Kshs3 million out there as imprests. I do not understand where we are heading to. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, so, I am saying that most of these things we are having in this Report are not good. I am just hoping and praying that when I am sitting here legislating for this country and being the representative of my people in Kwanza, I will not see this kind of thing in the coming Report. If they do that, let us put sanctions immediately on them. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I think the previous Kibaki Government had a reporting officer, I think Mzee Muthaura. If imprest in an institution is taking too long to surrender then that is bad. You know we are talking about 2008/2009 imprests which have not been surrendered. We are not serious as a country. We are not serious as people who have taken leadership of this country. Therefore, I want to say that given that there is this laxity, let us put sanctions on the accounting officers. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly and not least, I think the contracts are just a joke. We have contracts all over and any contract that you have seen and read about is faulted. I want to say this: I did some work in my constituency and I have realised that contractors work with the accounting officers to fleece the Government. We should do something about that. I have had cases where I did the work myself in my constituency and I spent a quarter of what would actually be spent, if I gave it to a contractor. view
