• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, both of them. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to those who are supportive of the amended Motion. Indeed, every one of us recognises the fact that Kenya is basically an agricultural-based economy. This fact was even highlighted in this year's Annual Estimates by the Minister for Finance. What seems to be lacking is the need to act on the many pronouncements that we have become very famous for. I want to congratulate my good friend, Mr. Munyao, because he has done well by working hard to revive the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I told you that this friend of mine has the habit of corrupting--- view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, true to what I said; the name "Konzolo" is a corruption of "Kalonzo". The Minister is even corrupting arithmetic. He has said that I have been in the Government for the last 25 years. For record purposes, I have been a Minister just for about ten years. It is not true for him to say that I have been in the Government for the last 25 years. As a matter of fact, I have been a Member of Parliament for 21 years. However, I thank him. I think he is hoping that this continues. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: However, I have just congratulated this Minister for what he has done, but because he was not listening and he is a good friend of mine, allow me to congratulate him once more, for reopening the KMC. While he is now looking at me, I would like to inform him that the people of Mombasa are waiting for the reopening of the KMC depot and factory in Mombasa. So, the Minister has tried. Generally, it is also a fact that I am ashamed that having led the campaign for our President in Coast Province in 2002, not so much has ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: That, of course, is on a lighter note! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support the effort by Mr. Joe Khamisi. I want to tell him that we shall all stand by him. Could he, therefore, move with speed and bring the necessary Bill? I hope every hon. Member of this House will support it overwhelmingly. With that support, we will also be sending a message to the people of Bahari Constituency that they truly have a worthy representative; one who thinks about the common man. We are told that the economy is growing by 5.8 per cent ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Finance whether he could inform the House why the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) froze their funding programme to Kenya. view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if that is the case, could the Minister table the figures he has got for budgetary support? We know that he is only getting support on specific programmes and not budgetary support. view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister say there were some things which they were supposed to do. Could he be more specific and tell us what these things are? He has only mentioned one thing, inflation. He also talked about debts, but did not tell us where these debts are. Could he be specific and tell us about all the conditions? view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that the KCFCSL has not come up with a resolution showing a ceiling on how much they should borrow. There is a resolution. In fact, on several occasions, officials of KCFCSL have visited the Co-operative Bank of Kenya, Machakos branch, and they are usually told they have no authority to access these funds. Who is supposed to give them the authority to borrow the money because they are members of a society, they grow coffee and they have five factories which they run? view
