• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: during the better part of this week. It surprises me when you Kenyans are involved in road accidents and then you see people rushing and instead of helping the injured, or saving them from that accident, they get busy removing money from their pockets. You understand why. Hon. Speaker, in 2004 - this is something that occurs after every ten years - we had a serious famine in this country. We had serious famine in 1994. We also had serious famine in 1984. Instead of the people put in positions ensuring that Kenyans have enough food to feed on, they ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The import of this is to recognize that this matter is in the Court of Appeal and also to show that this House respects the separation of powers. It respects the courts and the judiciary. If this amendment is carried, in the event that the Court of Appeal rules against or does not rule in favour of NCPB, then those provisions which would require the Executive to behave in a manner that is defined on Page 94 and Page 96 then become not tenable. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move and ask this House that in order to avoid conflict ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Fine, hon. Speaker. I thought this was--- Hon. Eng. Gumbo is ready to second, but I thought this was an amendment. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to inform the Chairman of this great Committee PIC that, apart from the fact that the trustees are actually the people responsible for determining the sufficiency of funds to start the procurement process, it should also be understood that Joseph Kinyua held two responsibilities here; one, as the Permanent Secretary. Now, as the Permanent Secretary, he acted very well. That is because he informed the procurement entity that they should not issue letters of credit. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: So, there he did a good job. However, as a trustee, he failed to do his job and that is why there is a recommendation that the trustees need to be held responsible. So, I want to clarify that because it was sought from the Mover of this amendment. He was asked: How come the Committee praised Joseph Kinyua, the Permanent Secretary who did a good job by the way. However, as a member of trustee of the Strategic Grain Reserve, he failed to do a good job. If the Committee found that to be wanting, then it had a ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker Sir, I am looking at Article 108 of the Constitution, about party leadership and leadership in the House. In line with what the Leader of Majority Party has just said, that he is going to write to the President who is the head of the Executive through the Chief of Staff, I would like to ask if that would really be in order because this House has a channel of communication. I believe that if there is a complaint or concern by hon. Members or Committees in Parliament about the performance of the Executive or particular members of ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for your quick ruling on that matter but more fundamentally, I think as a House we need to respect the committees of the House 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
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: and the House at large. This matter has been canvassed and transacted by this Committee for months, if I am not wrong and if the hon. Member felt that this matter would be subjudice, it would have been proper to approach the Committee or the House at that time because a committee is a creation of the House. I am concerned because last week when I asked for postponement of debate on this report, there were concerns that probably over the weekend issues would come out which would compromise the debate on this matter. I feel pained that probably I ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I have actually read the report. Hon. Speaker, I would like to ask hon. Wario to hold his horses if he cannot prove that this matter is active. But even if the matter is still active in court, it is also out of order for the hon. Member to wait until it is late in the day to raise the matter. view
