• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you for that information. I knew it all and I am aware of what he has said here. But, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it not true today that there are pending bills to the tune of Kshs13 billion? We do not know how those bills arose. Is that not true today? I served in the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communications and Public Works and I know that a bulk of those bills belong to that department. Is it not true that the auditing of Kisii Municipal Council, Gusii and Nyamira county councils, and even Nairobi City Council ... view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe we are late now, but in the next Report, we must make three major recommendations. One of them is to create a committee on assurance and implementation. Secondly, we must recommend that the Treasury tables its memoranda and reports to the House urgently once it is given a report by the Controller and Auditor-General. Thirdly, we must ensure that the committee gives periodic reports regarding the recommendations made and adopted by this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my friend talked about the issue of pending bills. But, maybe, some of those firms whose ... view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that diabetes is now a major cause of death in this country to the same level as malaria and HIV/AIDS? Could he, therefore, guarantee adequate drugs for diabetic patients throughout the country? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, right from the outset, I would like to say that I support this Bill. However, I would like to point out that we are appropriating the resources of this country to provide goods and services to our people. Even as we do that, we must ensure that the small person down there who does not have shoes or a long trouser to put on benefits from the passage of this Appropriation Bill. We have been told over and over again that a lot of money has been looted from this country and it has been stashed away ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it looks as if he read my mind since I was going to say exactly what he has said. Mr. Speaker, Sir, actually, in the last few months I have seen some disconnect in the operations of the Government in this country. There is a disconnect between Parliament and the Executive and between the Executive and the Judiciary and especially between the Attorney- General and the Judiciary. A suspected criminal commits an offence as serious as rape and he is taken to court and by some bizarre way, that person is released by the court. You cannot ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: We are the ones who tax our people for him to get the money. He should talk to parliamentary committees before he prepares his Budget and before he appropriates his money so that the people's representatives can put some input in his decisions. With those few remarks, I would like to support. view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. Right from the outset, I would like to thank the Minister for Energy and his staff who have been working tirelessly to provide energy to the people of Kenya. I also want to thank them for coming up with this Bill which, I believe, will address a number of issues that have made it difficult for Kenyans to access electricity in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, energy is the heart of any economy. If 60 per cent to 70 ... view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that the City of Sydney, which is as big as the City of Nairobi, gets its electricity from a sewerage plant. The residents of the City of Sydney eat macaroni and crisps. They do not eat ugali and do not produce as much waste as we produce in this country. If we were to get power from sewage, we could even assist hon. Mwenje to supply power to his constituents. He will also not spend money to clean the area where we dump sewage. That is what I am saying. We have ... view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to the debate on this Motion. I would like to thank hon. Ojode for being concerned about the welfare of the poor people of this country. Every time multinational oil companies increase the prices of petroleum products, they affect every sector of our economy. Regarding transport, farmers who rely on tractors to plough their shambas have to pay more money than they used to, previously. That affects the cost of production. When oil companies increase the prices of fuel, it affects the transport needs of the ... view
