• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Regional Development Authorities the following Question by Private Notice. view

• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the Chair to enable me to take the Minister through what is happening within his Ministry. There are issues or matters that he may not be aware of or if he is, then he may be very ignorant of some of the regulations that are supposed to be observed in the appointment of parastatal heads. I want to bring to his attention a circular from Amb. Muthaura regarding the procedure. Paragraph 2 reads:- “The CVs of all persons to be appointed to these offices must be sent to the Office ... view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell us why due diligence was not conducted to establish the character and the integrity of that particular person by the name Agoya? In the list of the three shortlisted candidates, there were candidates who even scored higher marks than Mr. Agoya as presented to the Minister by the Board of Management. Why was there no due diligence? view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I find the Minister quite out of order. He is misleading this House. The report which I am about to table before this House was initiated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was conducted by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). They recommended that Mr. Agoya should be charged with fraud contrary to Section 331 of the Penal Code. Is the Minister trying to say that because he has the power, he can even appoint thieves or thugs to head parastatals? view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Minister tries to acquaint himself with the contents of this letter, I think it would also be important that he goes further and finds out whether the same Mr. Agoya run away with money from BNP Paribas Bank of France and from a motor dealer for staff and hence the Members of staff at the Kenyan Embassy in France can never access any loan from the bank due to the conduct of Mr. Agoya? view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I was interrupted, I was just saying that it is really unfortunate that the Madoffs of this country would want to gag Parliament. The Madoffs are the people who have stolen from the Kenyan public like the KBCCSC that is being talked about. These are people who have stolen from people and are walking freely in this city when Kenyans are sleeping hungry. Kenyans want to know the truth. The order that has been given, with all due respect to the courts and the judge who gave the order, they know that there is ... view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: So, this Parliament cannot be prevented from exercising its legislative role by an order. In any case, Parliament is not the public. So I am praying that the Minister lays the report on the table and then we will proceed. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me first start by thanking hon. Members who have contributed in support of this Motion. Let me also thank Members of the Cabinet who are in this House this afternoon. They have listened and contributed to this Motion. It is very rare that when such a debate is going on, most of the time - and at a time like now - Government Benches have people. So, I really congratulate hon. Michuki, Dr. Shaban, hon. Najib Balala, hon. Oparanya and Prof. Sambili for really being with us up to this time. view
