• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank hon. Keynan for bringing this matter. In fact, now it proves that we were not wrong when we made you a Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). I hope that you are going to be the Vice-Chair of that PSC. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, remember yesterday, the Minister for Transport was very categorical and said that we are being used to bring documents here. That I found to be really targeting Members of Parliament. As the person who brought the Motion, I felt like someone was accusing me of working together with the landgrabbers, and I have never grabbed even a stool. So, I was wondering if I am in this team. We are not even protecting the Members of Parliament here. The question here is: In case there are some Members of Parliament who really are colluding with ... view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will speak on just two things arising from what the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs has just presented to this House this evening. About consulting the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), I want to confirm that we actually agreed with the Minister that before this Bill is presented to the House, we would have an opportunity to seat with him, but up to this day, the Minister has not done so. I also want to indicate to this House that the Constitution is very categorical; that if there are any impediments ... view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Always, the Order Paper which has the order of business is circulated to all of us through the internet and we can read it. The hon. Member knew very well that Order No.9 was actually his Motion. So when coming to this House this afternoon, he should have known that this Motion could be concluded and, therefore, by extension, he would be called upon to reply. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it will not be fair to hold this House from concluding a matter just because an hon. Member who moved the Motion cannot reply. If the hon. Member is not ready, I think this House should vote and we conclude this matter. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I remember when this issue first came up and the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security gave an undertaking to this House that before this matter is addressed comprehensively, demolitions would stop. I would ask for your ruling given that the Government and the Minister in question have gone ahead to violate their commitment to this House. What action are we going to take as a House on this Minister who has given a commitment to the House which he has failed to live up to? view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm that on 24th October, 2011 the Permanent Secretary, Treasury, wrote to the Country Director of the World Bank committing to refund Kshs479 million by 26th October, 2011 and a further Kshs2.19 billion before the end of the 2011/12 Financial Year? (b) Could the Minister provide a breakdown of the various projects the refunds relate to, the reasons for the refunds and the action being taken by the Government against those involved? (c) Under what ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it should be noted that it is not the World Bank which originated or initiated this forensic audit. This was a Government initiative and it has verified and confirmed that money has been stolen. If you look at the letter, which I am sure the Assistant Minister has, which was written to the World Bank, it is very clear that this money is being refunded because some Government officers have stolen money through fraud, corruption or what they term as mal-procurement, and I do not know whether that terminology exists. However, the question I want to ask ... view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not even notice I was pointing at the Speaker. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead this House that the money was appropriated for the purpose for which the Government is applying it and yet we know very well that there is no single day this House ever appropriated funds to be refunded to the World Bank after the Government officers have misappropriated them? Could the Assistant Minister clarify to this House the accuracy of his statement that we appropriated funds to be refunded to development partners after their officers have already stolen the same funds? view
