• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Auctioneers, acting under instructions from the National Bank of Kenya, have advertised the sale by public auction of Lumumba Estate in Kisumu on 2nd July, 2010, on account of an alleged default on repayment by the Council? (b) Under what circumstances did the Minister authorize the grant of the commercial loan to either the Municipal Council of Kisumu and/or the National Housing Corporation and the deposit of title of the ... view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am dismayed by the facts outlined by the Assistant Minister. He must be aware that the original loan in 1990 by the Municipality of Kisumu was Kshs3 million. He is also aware that as at now, the council has paid close to Kshs29 million to the National Bank of Kenya. The In duplum rule was passed by this House in the last Parliament which provides that the bank cannot claim more than twice the original amount that was loaned. So, under what circumstances did this loan rise from Kshs3 million in 1990 to Kshs103 ... view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I am satisfied and a little happy that Lumumba Estate is now not going to be sold, the answer given by the Assistant Minister raises very fundamental issues, which I want him to address. Under what circumstances did the Ministry authorise the council to borrow on commercial terms to pay wages? What is the negligence that can be attributed to the successive Town Clerks and Treasurers who came to office but who did not service this loan? What action is going to be taken against them? view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to ask one more question because this matter is very sensitive. Under the circumstances, could the Assistant Minister give an undertaking to this House that while the team from the council is negotiating with the bank, they will have in mind the in duplim rule, so that what should be paid will be minimal? view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of what has been said by the hon. Member for Migori, if it is the view of the Minister that the order given by the Chair should be reversed, then he must comply strictly with the provision of Standing Order No.79(2) which says:- “It shall be out of order to introduce an argument on any specific question upon which the House has taken a decision during the same Session, except upon a Motion to rescind that decision made with the permission of the Speaker.” So, is it in order for ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to appear like I am arguing with the Chair but my understanding of the Standing Orders is that if it is the view of the Minister to raise this issue again, then he is substantively contradicting what the Chair had ruled. So, to that extent he must comply with Standing Order No.79. view
