• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am on Head 435 - National Grid System. Item 2630200 - Capital Grants to Government Agencies and other Levels of Government. Last year, there was no money allocated to this item, but this year, there is an allocation of Kshs4 billion. You will recall that this is the same issue concerning the last item we voted on; amounting to Kshs2 billion. In fact, there were two amounts. One was Kshs2 billion while the other figure was Kshs2.1 billion. This amount is too high to just be passed like that. We need to know exactly ... view

• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to support the Assistant Minister's amendment. As you may have noticed, Clause 5 deals with the establishment of the Board and the membership thereof. What the Assistant Minister has done is to add "the Planning Secretary in the Ministry for the time being responsible for matters relating to planning". Again, he has proposed that a new paragraph be inserted immediately after paragraph (i), that is, "the Director of Local Authorities". Mr. Chairman, Sir, that means that the Assistant Minister is adding those people to be members of the Board, which is created by this Bill. ... view

• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to support Dr. Manduku's amendment. This is a negotiated Bill. If you look at the wording of Clause 6(a); "production and manufacture", actually, production is a duplication of manufacture. This is a multi-Ministry affair. The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Finance are all involved. Therefore, "growing" is part of it. In the Bill we are providing for alternative cropping. If there is going to be some control of this, then there must be some avenue in which we will provide for tobacco farmers. I wish to support ... view
