• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you will find the lawyer for the NCPB making an application before the court, for instance for the stay of an execution, so as to set aside the arbitral award and raise an issue at the interlocutory stage. However, when you appear for the exparte application, you find the lawyer for the other party coming with a file and saying: “No. Notwithstanding that this matter is at the ex parte stage, I demand an audience.” When he does that, the NCPB is unable to advance an argument for an ex parte order. As a result, the court ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is on that account that we thought that we may not have the institutional competence to really investigate to the bottom line of this matter. We, therefore, recommended that this matter be handled by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), so that we can know where corruption came from. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The other issue also relates to the people who applied for the original tender. We have one, Mr. Ahmednassir. Evidence was tendered that he made an application and bought the original tender documents. He was among the 86 firms that applied for the forms. One witness said that the person who was said to have bought the tender documents when the matter became contentious later on, he appeared as an advocate for Erad. So, we wonder what the connection between the two was. We thought that it was wise for us to come up with a recommendation to investigate that ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, another issue I would like to draw Members’ attention to relates to the other five companies. A Member of this House has said that we have not investigated those other companies. The reason why the issue of Erad is quite different from the other companies is because Erad did not supply a single grain, yet it was paid money. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: There is evidence that the rest of the companies may have supplied the maize, although others sued the NCPB but lost. It is only Erad which appears to have gone to court, obtained a judgment and was paid in excess of Kshs300 million, yet it did not supply a single grain. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Be that as it may, anyone who has any evidence against the other companies is at liberty to appear before our Committee and, as the PIC, we shall take action, investigate and ensure that if those companies were paid irregularly, the money is recovered. However, as of today, we are following up the evidence we have and it only relates to Erad. Once we get that evidence, we shall proceed and prosecute the other companies. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, I call upon Members to support this report, so that for the first time in this Parliament we say no to corruption. I foresee a situation where, God willing, we will be able to recover tax money that has been lost. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, Clause 27--- view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I wanted to seek a further clarification on the justification for Clause 27(A) because it is under 10(A). Maybe, the Chairman can explain to us this. If a telecommunications operator sells a SIM card to a person taking into account the kind of details that person is supposed to furnish the operator with, will that entail production of an ID, a birth certificate or something else? It appears it will be mandatory. If that will be the case, what is the practicality of that requirement? Will it be practical? Will it entail diminishing the extent to which these ... view
