• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, would it be in order for me to ask that the Question be deferred so that the Minister can get the proper information that I have sought? This is because I have looked at the contract that he has tabled and it does not contain an annexture of the curriculum vitae of the person by the name Melvile Smith. Secondly, the terms of the contract are not as the Minister has stated, that is about non-performing loans. The terms were clearly stated as follows:- (a) looking at the overall size of the bank and large clientele; check ... view

• 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the Minister answered the Question, but on part “b” he admitted that Peter George Odhiambo took to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) account details and bank balances of customers. So, we he was asked to produce those particular bank details which were taken to the KRA. Secondly, in the answer, he said that Peter George Odhiambo was not under any contract with the KRA for rewards but in part “c” it is clear that KRA paid Odhiambo Kshs450,279. So, it is this information which was asked; for what purpose was the reward given? So, ... view
• 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister is going round in circles. All that he is saying is that an employee of the bank went and looked at customer’s statement and took those balances to the KRA which by itself is prohibited under the law. No person has a right to go and disclose the account details of a customer of a bank. So, the Minister must then admit that that is what the KRA encouraged Mr. Odhiambo to do. If he did so, and those balances resulted to a reward because taxes were recovered, then we ... view

• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question has been deferred three times previously. On Thursday, last week, the Attorney-General expressed his willingness to answer it today. In fact, he promised to be here today to answer it.

• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sincerely thank the hon. Attorney-General for having taken the trouble to give his elaborate answer to this Question. However, I would want him to just clarify a few things. One, the letter referenced AG/CR/2053/905 dated 25th March, 2009 was actually directed at the hon.

That letter contains the facts and full details relating to the persons who were involved or suspected to have been involved in the trafficking of 1,41.5 kilogrammes of cocaine that was seized in Kenya. So, he must confirm this. Secondly, he must confirm ... view
