• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead the House that the leaders, Mr. Okulo and Mr. Koli, were arrested, “not in a bad way” to use his words, when clearly the television footage showed Mr. Okulo being literally dragged on the tarmac into a police Land Cruiser? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Fisheries Development the following Question by Private Notice. (a) What is the legal basis and rationale for prohibition of the catching of O mena fish in Lake Victoria during the month of April annually? (b) Could the Minister consider totally withdrawing or postponing the prohibition by six months to facilitate harvesting after the expected rains, in view of the drought/famine which is ravaging the region, especially Winam Division? Mr. Speaker, Sir, before the Question is answered by the hon. Minister for Fisheries Development, I wish to state that in my ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad to hear that the Minister is willing to carry out further consultations with a view to possibly lifting this ban. I wish to state that before I asked this Question I consulted very widely with the hon. Members from around Lake Victoria and in particular, I consulted with fish traders of Kibuye, Oyile and Jubilee markets. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: I also consulted with fish management unit members at Kichinjio, Usoma, Genge, Usare, Lare, Mawembe, Paga and Oga. In view of this, could the Minister state to this House when he will visit the stakeholders of Lake Victoria to hold these consultations as a matter of urgency? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Legal Notice No.7565 of 31st October, 2001, on which the Minister is relying to impose the ban on fishing, is now slightly over 10 years old. Could he tell the House how often he reviews the Legal Notice to make sure that it is in the interest of the fishing people to impose that ban or not? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Lately I have seen hon. Nguyai, the very able Assistant Minister, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government coming to the House to answer Questions on behalf of the Treasury. Is it in order for him to consistently come to the House to answer Questions on behalf of the Office of the Deputy Prime and Ministry of Finance? view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will notice that the last answer to the Question says that the Assistant Minister is not able to give information on due diligence because Grand Regency and Laico Regency are not Government investments. As you are aware, the Government appointed the receiver of Grand Regency and it was sold by the Minister for Finance on behalf of the Government. Is it, therefore, in order for the Assistant Minister to deny liability when it is the Government that sold Grand Regency Hotel? view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard the Assistant Minister say that this company is registered in Tripoli and that he would not be able to get the details. As a matter of fact, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to say so when he knows or ought to know that all foreign companies operating in Kenya have to be registered as local companies here even if they are foreign? So, the record should be at the Attorney-General’s office. view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the withdrawal of the World Bank from Nairobi Toll Road Concession Project is shrouded in mystery and suspicion. In some quarters it is being alleged that the contractor for the project was blacklisted. In some quarters it is being alleged that senior staff and politicians in the Ministry are involved in corrupt dealings. What is the real reason why the World Bank withdrew? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to attempt to answer the question without actually addressing what I asked? What is the real reason why the World Bank withdrew from the consortium? view
