• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: This is a very complex and delicate matter, you will agree with me. Some of my friends were asking me:- “Hon. Mbadi, why are you getting involved in this?” But we are the leaders of this country who need to protect the youth from harmful effects of drugs. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you allow me, this matter, as a matter of fact, was brought up in the Tenth Parliament and what was remaining was for this House to be informed, through a report, what was the progress of the investigation. For those of us who did not sit in the Tenth Parliament and those who have not been following this issue, in November, 2010, the former US Ambassador to Kenya, Michael Rannerberger, made accusations and allegations against between 15 and 20 prominent Kenyans, whom he accused of being involved in drug trafficking. This House then was ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in that report, only four prominent Kenyans were discussed. The four prominent Kenyans, two of them are currently governors. One is a former Assistant Minister and another is a Senator. According to that interim report, it is clear that they were exonerated. But the other Kenyans mentioned in the report, one would assume that they are the ones that are now being investigated. These are not just ordinary Kenyans. Two of them are sitting Members of Parliament and one is a Senator and then other prominent Kenyans. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why I have brought my argument that far and now to move ahead and seek my clarification is because if you listen to the Statement by the Chair, a lot needs to be done by the Committee. I would request the Chairman, first, to summon the Cabinet Secretary, the Attorney-General, the DPP and the CID boss to explain what and who they are currently investigating. If they have put the assets under surveillance, whose assets are those? You cannot have investigations for ever. Investigations are not a blank cheque for the Executive to do them ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the Statement, you do not have to ask. It is obvious that the Committee has not invited them. Therefore, I would ask the Chairman to expain to this House when he is going to invite these relevant The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: officers to shed light on this matter. This is a serious matter touching on the integrity and credibility of significant prominent Kenyans. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is exactly that and that is why I was asking why the Chairman is not inviting these people. Is it in order for the Chairman to say clearly that there was nothing incriminating these four individuals, then he goes ahead to say that their assets are being investigated? Why do you investigate or conduct surveillance on assets of people you have no evidence to link to drug trafficking? I thought the Government should be investigating or attaching assets of people who are linked to drug trafficking. So, there is a contradiction and that is why I expect the Chairman ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also requested a Statement from the Leader of Majority Party regarding the possible merger/dissolution of State corporations. The Leader of Majority Party, my friend, with a lot of confidence said that he would provide that Statement the following week, which was last week. To date, I have not seen any indication of him having the Statement. Could he now tell us when he would deliver the Statement? view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I have heard such serious allegations from hon. Kaluma but, in the event that a decision was taken, it was a wrong one that needs to be reversed. That is because hon. Kaluma is a very junior Member of Parliament who just came the other day and found me here. Even in terms of age, he should respect me, my seniority and accept his rightful position behind me. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, really, this is just a Procedural Motion. The reasons for asking this House to reduce the referral period of the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Bill is because the period that we have between now and 5th December, 2013 when we are breaking for recess, is such a short time. This Bill has been with us for some time – I will not say for a very long time, but quite some time. The relevance of this Bill will be realized if it is enacted into law and Kenyans start benefitting from reduction of cost of certain basic commodities ... view
