• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am sorry I did not understand that. Are you suggesting--- view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, it is now time for the interruption of business. The House is, therefore, adjourned until Tuesday, 25th September, 2007, at 2.30 p.m. The House rose at 6.30 p.m. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am concerned that despite the obvious history, as September 18, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3973 evidenced by the Watergate incident in the United States of America, the Assistant Minister would still say that one would steal only the CPU, which would contain all the information, rather than the computer itself. Could he tell us what Government department was involved in this raid, and why? view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to make some few comments on the Finance Bill, which I believe is one of the most vibrant Bills that this House could be called upon to pass. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, seconding the Bill, Mzee Nyachae said that there is economic growth. We have been told over and over again about huge percentages in economic growth. I dare say that it is phantom because we know that poverty is existing. We know that the gap between the rich and the poor is ever-increasing. It is increasing with very heavy implications for ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know that I respect the Chair's rulings very much. I would also like to say that the hon. Member, who raised that issue, would not know whether I was going to say the opposite of what had been said. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was going to say that, in fact, I do support the Minister's proposals with respect to taxation on cigarettes. I have sought to bring a Bill to this House to control tobacco use. That same Bill, which was eventually brought by the Government, made it imperative to employ taxation measures to try to reduce the demand for cigarettes. On that basis, I support what the Minister has said. In fact, I would be happier if he increases those taxes even two-fold. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this being a very important Bill, I have ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to go on. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue at stake here is the realisation of securities. Power is being given to the Commissioner here to assume that there is a mortgage on somebody's property and sell it. The time limit given is so short, and there is no guarantee whatsoever that this property will be sold at the right price. I beg this House to look at this provision very carefully. It is going to hurt us, because we are giving somebody power, which he can misuse to hurt us. It is absolutely dangerous to allow somebody to sell ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas I hate to interrupt my very good friend, Mr. Muturi, the Assistant Minister for Finance is holding a very huge kamukunji at the corner there and I can hardly hear what is going on due to the loud consultations and yet, he is the Assistant Minister for Finance. view
