• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately the answer is “no”. These are private producers, and, therefore, we cannot dig into their financial undertakings! view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek your guidance on this matter. In seeking for extension of time, hon. Namwamba indicated to us that the Report is ready save for the fact that they want to go and do vetting. That is the reason he gave. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have gone through your ruling when you were assigning these Committees this responsibility. Nowhere in your ruling, did you instruct these Committees to do vetting of the candidates that were chosen for the various positions. In my recollection--- view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise not to answer this Question, but to seek your advice and ruling. This Question was forwarded to my Ministry the day before yesterday. As we attempted to get appropriate answers to the Question, we realized that it was touching on matters of taxes. We are all aware that matters pertaining to taxes and revenue are handled by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) which is a parastatal under the Ministry of Finance and not my Ministry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, part (b) of the Question touches on the shareholding and investments of a company. I believe that ... view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to vehemently deny the allegations that have been made by the hon. Member that there is some squabbling between the Minister for Information and Communications and the Permanent Secretary. I have clearly stated the reasons why I think my Ministry is not competent enough to answer this Question. For the hon. Member to allege that there are some squabbles in my Ministry is misleading and so he must be made to withdraw and apologize. view

Unfortunately, hon. Poghisio is out of the country on official duty and is due back on Sunday. I undertake to make this statement tomorrow afternoon. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, I apologise that I am not privy to the request by the hon. Member. Let me withdraw the word “claim” and substitute it with the word “stated”. KENYAN DELEGATION TO SOUTHERN SUDAN view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the debate on this Motion. I rise to give the Official Government position on this issue. In doing so, let me, at the very outset, begin by congratulating my good friend, the Chairman of this Committee, for the very able and eloquent manner in which he moved the Motion. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Committee that worked on this report for the detailed manner in which it did it and for the expeditious manner in which they produced this report. As the Chairman stated while ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: You will agree with me that, that is a key role the corporation plays. Therefore, given the importance of this corporation, it is absolutely important that in constituting the Board of Directors for this corporation, the Ministry has to strictly adhere to the provisions of the Act, namely, Cap.221. I want to admit here on the Floor of the House that when the current board was constituted, there are some omissions that were made. I remember my colleague, hon. Poghisio, trying to justify and give explanations as to why those omissions were made. Notably, there is a requirement that we ... view
