• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given the importance of this issue, the policy implications, would the Minister kindly consider giving this answer in form of a Ministerial Statement at the end of Question Time? It is just a plea, the Minister seems so prepared. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the fact that the Minister just facilitates, and the line Ministries are, in fact, the implementing agencies with regard to ESP. As the facilitator and the person providing the funds, is he satisfied that the line Ministries are giving out that money fairly and, specifically, with regard to the markets where the Ministry concerned had identified only 40 constituencies and disbursed funds? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: It did not provide funding to many other constituencies including mine. At Kibirichia Market, there is no problem of land or NEMA issues. We pointed out where the money should go but, up to now, that money has not been released. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that the line Ministries, in fact, take steps to ensure that the policy framework that is so well set out in the Minister’s answer is actually implemented, and implemented within the financial year? Since the package began, we are on the second year and some areas, including my own, have not ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you must be aware as the Speaker and I am also aware as a Member of your Speaker’s Panel, that the Minister for Labour has made it a habit not to appear in this House. In fact, I do not know how many years ago he appeared here last. Under those circumstances, is it not right for the Prime Minister who supervises and co-ordinates Government business, to take it upon himself to ensure that the Minister for Labour does appear in the House? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As far as I recall, the Minister did complete his contribution and now, we are being informed that he has stepped aside. How did that information get relayed to the hon. Member and why is it not being shared with the rest of the House? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With your indulgence, if the Prime Minister wants to speak before me, I will gladly defer to him; otherwise I am ready to make my contribution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support--- view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will bear in mind your advice. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take only two minutes to support this Motion. I begin by thanking both the Permanent Secretary and the Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for taking this bold decision of stepping aside in order to allow for an investigation. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the two gentlemen, who have seen it fit to step aside in order to facilitate investigations. Given that there are many other similar scandals and similar investigations that are due, it is my hope and prayer that those others, who were hoping that the House will not be able to get the benefit of debating those issues, will take heed. We know that there is a lot of pending business. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a matter of public record that Mr. Wetangula is not the only Cabinet Minister who has been named in scandals. In fact, yesterday was a very interesting day to see the whole of the Front Bench full of Ministers, who hardly appear even to answer their own Questions. I hope that they will take heed. Soon enough, those who were mentioned in Goldenberg, Anglo Leasing and Triton scandals, and all those other scandals which have come before this House, will follow in the footsteps of Mr. Moses Wetangula and resign to enable investigations to take ... view
