• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter that he is reading is the one that is unsigned. He is trying to influence our thinking by not disclosing that it is not signed. The second tabled letter is clearly signed by the Chair, and that is what he should be reading. What he is reading out to us is a forgery. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Committee on Equal Opportunities has had sittings. Trying to introduce another Committee into the process is an attempt to delay the report being brought to this House. We are talking about the position of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). This is a very crucial position in this country. I think I want to sympathize with the Minister because I know he was at the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) this morning on the same issue. So it is not an issue we should start ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second this Motion. As I do so, I want to thank hon. Ekwe Ethuro, for bringing to Parliament this Motion, which is timely. You will recall that it was only yesterday that we had a Question raised on the Floor and, for the first time, after a couple of years and the answer that was given by the Minister was very comprehensive. The Motion talks about many other aspects which need to be looked into – aspects relating to IDPs which can easily be forgotten. The answer talked about IDPs in transit, IDPs ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: I have IDPs in my constituency and we would like to know whether they are accessing education bursaries. Have the committee opened up? What are the difficulties they are faced with? As Members of Parliament, I believe we are trying to do our best. However, it is important that a unified position is taken to look into this issue in a special way. We have the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. The budget that was allocated to that Ministry this year was far much less. Why is that so? It is because the perception within Government circles is that ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must appreciate that for the first time after a long time we have a comprehensive answer given by the Assistant Minister. I would like to know what the Ministry has done to the IDPs who are still waiting for the second payment of Kshs25,000. It will also be important for him to confirm how the over 300,000 integrated IDPs are being considered in the programmes that he has, and whether he will consider helping the IDPs that have formed self help groups and bought pieces of land on their own volition. Will he settle the ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Industrialization:- (a) to table a list of the number of vehicles belonging to returning Kenyan residents which have been exempted from the 8-year rule for the last 5 years, indicating year of manufacture, year and month of importation, name and passport numbers of the beneficiaries; and, (b) whether he could also provide details of the names, passport numbers, dates of departure from Kenya, respective return dates and the organization each returning resident was working for. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer that has been given by the Minister is inadequate. I say so because part (b) of the Question seeks details of the passport numbers, the dates of departing from the country, and the dates those Kenyans came back into the country. The enabling Act, partly, says as follows:- “The Minister may, on the advice of the National Standards Council, exempt any imports from the provisions of this order where the Minister is satisfied that it is in the national interest”. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: If you go through the information on the document that has been tabled, you will notice that out of the 186 vehicles that were exempted, the passport numbers of 85 of the persons who received the exemptions are unknown. In other words, we do not even know whether they had actually left this country. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, going through the list, you will see that out of the 186 persons listed here, the dates on which 125 of them left this country are unknown. We do not even know whether they actually left this country. Again, out of the 186 who received exemption, the dates on which 137 of them returned to this country are also not known. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Given that the Minister is supposed to give these exemptions on the advice of the National Standards Council, and that he needs to be satisfied that such exemption is in the national interest, could he tell this House the basis of those exemptions, how he received the advice from the National Standards Council, and whether those people whom we do not how they departed from this country and when they returned are actually Kenyans? view
