• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We know that in an effort to revive Uplands Bacon Factory, the Government has put public money into this body. Would it not be in order that the public is informed of who the owners are because the Government has put money in that factory? We would like to know that information through this House rather than requiring every mwananchi to go to the Registrar of Companies. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to make a contribution to this Financial Statement for this year. The Minister did say that he has a balanced Budget. But I do not understand the meaning of a balanced Budget from the Minister's point of view. First, he has a deficit of over Kshs100 billion which he proposed to finance through 2078 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 27, 2007 privatisation and through local borrowing. That cannot be called a balanced Budget. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kshs100 billion will have two effects: First, suppose you cannot realise the money ... view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: If the Government is going to provide only single-phase electricity lines for lighting, then that will not promote industries in those areas. June 27, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2079 view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: I know that the economy has grown by 6.1 per cent. However, that growth is being felt only in urban areas. It has not trickled down.

The Government, through the Central Bank of Kenya, ... view

• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we still need a very clear and categorical Statement from the Minister that he has not opened the brewing of busaa or traditional beer. When he says, "except following the Traditional Liquor Act, Cap.121", what does that mean? Does it mean that, today, somebody can actually go and apply, under that law, to brew traditional beer, view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: ? If that is the case, we are saying no to the Minister! He should bring an amendment to this House. This is because what the people out there know, or what the radio said, is that this Parliament has actually allowed the brewing of traditional beer, like busaa . If that is the case, the Minister should state categorically that he has not cheated this House, through the back door, to provide for the brewing of busaa in all the trading centres countrywide. If that is the case, he is in hot soup! view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me substitute the word "cheating" with "mislead". He has misled the House into passing a law by repealing an Act that may have allowed busaa through the back door. Can the Minister confirm whether that is the case? view
