• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: They start out by clearly stating the role of public officers. The CS in the new dispensation has got a lot more power and more hands on than the CS in the previous dispensation. They also give the role of the Accounting Officer and other Government departments. view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: If you look at all that and all the officers who were involved in this scandal, it is a case of perfect collusion. It is a situation where officers in all the Government and all the safeguards worked together to rob the country. It is exactly the same as what happened in the Goldenberg scandal where any information you required indicating whether gold had been exported or not was there. Papers to indicate that money came back were there. The only thing they could not prove is that if this gold was mined in Kenya, the gold dust would have ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Corruption has gone to the extent that it is so well illustrated in this where it takes over the structures of the Government. It behaves like the HIV virus which takes over the body system to produce more and more viruses. In our case, corruption takes over the Government system and every department is aiding or abetting and supporting theft that is going on. That is what has happened here. I support this Report because recommendations also go to show clearly that this was well orchestrated and the whole Government was involved. Look at Recommendation No.3, the Directorate of Criminal ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: In my view, what will be most telling about the role of the Government is if it fails to take up this Report, which is work in progress. The Report indicates to us, line by line, who to take action against. I do not think this is a case where the Government should wait for the Implementation Committee of Parliament to act. In fact, the Leader of the Majority Party should, through the Implementation Committee, immediately start working on that. In my mind, if that is not done, then I will say this was known by the guys at the ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support this Procedural Motion because, as others have said, we cannot deal with one-half of the population in a country and presume that we are dealing with everybody. Therefore, in general, I support measures that encourage and support women to participate in all our activities. However, this Bill and the matter of two-thirds bring out a very important issue in the whole area of implementation of the new Constitution. There are many other areas in the constitution that are actually problematic. We are only responding ... view
