• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question that has been asked by hon. Monda is about the delay of the 300 computers per constituency project. But the fundamental question that I wish to ask the Minister is this: Why have you not released funds for this year’s CDF allocation until now? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) whether the Minister is aware that on 31st July, 2000 and 18th August, 2004 in Kisumu High Court Suit Nos. 127 of 2000 and 235 of 2001, the judge ordered the Attorney-General and the Director of Pensions to pay the Plaintiffs, Erned Onduso Obwocha and Harrison Buyuka Ateyi, Kshs.845,335/- and Kshs.639,882/- respectively, being accrued pensions not paid to them on their respective retirement dates; b) to explain the justification for delayed payment of pensions to the successful plaintiffs; and, (c) what urgent steps he is taking to comply with the ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I feel alarmed by the answer given by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance because of the way it perpetuates impunity by the Government and disregards court judgments. He has conceded that, indeed, Mr. Obwocha and Mr. Buyuka went to court and were successful in the years 2000 and the year 2004, respectively. These were court judgments. There have been no appeals. These are two old men who served in the Judiciary all their lives, and are now living in destitution in Kisumu. This answer means that the Cabinet can disregard a court judgement. Since ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is explaining what the Judiciary and the Cabinet are doing to enhance pensions, but my question was fundamental: Since when did the Cabinet start disregarding a court judgement? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you very much for your intervention Mr. Speaker, Sir. But under the circumstances, would it be in order for the hon. Minister to give a specific date when he intends to come back to Parliament with an answer? He can do it within two days! view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due respect for Mr. Chachu, it is understandable why he is so passionate by the calculations he is opposing; North Horr will be more than double its share. But that is not the point. My point is this: The constitutionality of this Motion or otherwise, would be a point of argument. I say so because in the Constitution, the National Revenue Allocation Commission has got its duties. Its duties are clearly defined in Clause 216(1). It states as follows:- “The Commission on Revenue Allocation shall make recommendations concerning the basis ... view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government because he has injected new thinking in local authorities in Kenya. However, I am surprised by part “b” of this answer when he says that the Ministry does not have a policy with regard to long standing tenants. This amounts to management by carelessness. The lack of policy is what has now turned all councils--- view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your correction. Under those circumstances, how come in all the municipalities in Kenya, councillors are now asking Town Clerks to give eviction notices to tenants without regard to how long they have lived there? This is because the councilors want to put their relatives and friends in those council houses. What is the policy of the Ministry on this? view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the honorable Minister to say that tenants can be removed so that employees can be housed, when employees are entitled to house allowance? view
