• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: There are so many page 50s! So, I cannot tell you which one, unless you sit next to me. What I am saying is that there is a submission from the forex dealers, under item four. It says that there was a loose monetary policy of up to one per cent, which was a loophole that was used by greedy investors. That is a submission by a professional. Another submission says that there were gaps in the Monetary Policy Committee, and that the members of that committee did not understand the movement and the major drivers of exchange rate. Who ... view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are professionals’ observations. So, in a nutshell, it is not a creation of this Parliamentary Committee. This Committee listened to submissions from professionals. It listened to submissions from even the CBK. The CBK itself has acknowledged that some banks were involved in some activities which were not acceptable. The CBK allowed all this to happen. We are paying Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u not to do politics. We are not paying him to enjoy himself in the office. We pay him, as the people of Kenya, to make sure that the money market is stable, and that ... view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to present a petition on behalf of the staff of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) on the proposed reforms to the KBC. We the undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya, registered voters, taxpayers and staff of the KBC having authorized the Member for Gwasi, Mr. John Mbadi to present this Petition to the National Assembly on our behalf draw the attention of the House to the following: 1. Whereas Article 34(4) of the Constitution provides that all State-owned media should be free to determine independently the editorial content of their broadcast or other communications, ... view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to avoid addressing the point of order by Dr. Nuh? The memorandum he is talking about remains a memorandum which this House is likely to reject as we are planning to reject it. So, he should not base his decision on a memorandum that we will reject. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Before the Ministry decides to cancel results, there must be good reasons and those reasons are definitely available. So, asking us for one week in order to give us information that is readily available is not right unless the Ministry is telling us that they canceled results without reasons. If already they have cancelled the results there must have been reasons and, therefore, the reasons can be supplied to this House on Tuesday. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Finance regarding the delayed approval of the Finance Bill 2011, Bill No.12. Aware that the Minister shelved the Bill and prevented it from being committed to the Committee of the Whole House, I would like him to address the following: 1. Explain why he was unable to move the Bill during the Second Reading. 2. Explain the effects of the delayed approval of the Bill on the economy in terms of increased budgetary deficit and whether or not the Government ... view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir my statements reads that: “Aware that the Minister shelved the Bill from being committed to the Committee of the Whole House.” So, I am asking why the Minister withdrew the Bill from the House. That is what I am asking. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and the Minister was the one who withdrew the Bill from the House. It was not the House Business Committee (HBC); it was the Minister who withdrew the Bill; I want an explanation as to why this Bill was withdrawn at whatever stage. It was withdrawn from the House by the Minister. I urge the Deputy Leader of Government Business to stop misleading the Acting Minister for Finance and allow him to address my issue. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have just called the next order; I believe that should be Order No.8, but today is a Thursday when we expect the Leader of Government Business to give us the programme for the next week. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the kind of work that we have for next week, I am sure the Government will bring the Supplementary Budget, but it should be noted by the Government that the method of approving the Budget has changed in this country and there is no exception for Supplementary Budgets. So, I hope that the Government is alert to the fact that the Budget Committee will need time to scrutinize the supplementary Budget, otherwise, we should not expect the Government to ambush us with the Supplementary Budget when we have a few days to review ... view
