• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure the Assistant Minister did not answer my question on audit. However, I will ask my last question. I hope he will also answer the question. The President, on two occasion, while opening Parliament indicated in this House that a Bill is being prepared for the management of SACCOs in the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to tell the Assistant Minister that, that has taken almost three years since it was said. When is this Bill seeing the light of day? When is it being brought to the House for consideration ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask my Question, I would like to apologise for coming late, and agree with you that the traffic jams on our roads do not affect Ministers and Members of Parliament alone. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) when the construction of Mbagathi Way began and when it will be completed; and, (b) at what cost it is being constructed and how much money has so far been disbursed. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that our Standing Orders allow the Assistant Minister for Roads and Public Works, Eng. Toro, to take over from the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It seems that the contract has been varied, and I believe that a variation order has been issued. I would want to know the initial cost of the project before the variation order was effected. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the start of this project, there was talk that local cement companies offered to contribute cement for the project. So, how much of the cost of this project has come from public coffers and how much of it has come from Harambee efforts? view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kshs11 million or Kshs15 million is a colossal sum of money. All the sugar companies, save for Mumias, are all in debts. This is money due to the farmers. Farmers in all these sugar companies are not being paid. Nobody is serious about controlling the flow and payments of sugar in these factories. What assurance is the Minister giving the country that he will protect the farmers' money and it will not be stolen like has been the case? view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Finance:- (a) why the Kenya Revenue Authority offices in Kericho were closed down and the services therefrom transferred to Kisumu; and, (b) whether he is aware that, that is likely to cause a reduction in revenue. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is my humble submission that those offices were closed and there is no need to mislead the House. There is a training programme that is taking place, being an indication that services had gone down. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House when that training programme will be concluded? Indeed, as we speak, people from Kericho continue going to Kisumu and Nakuru for services offered by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister assure this House that such erratic decisions to close down offices or stop services is costly and should not be entertained in future? view
