• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wanted to inform waziri that this is really mysterious. There were times when some individuals who did CPA - I did CPA and I am very proud of it – said that CPA (K) was the equivalent of a degree. This was at a place where I was working. But when we accepted that, they lowered it to CPA II. So this equivalent thing should be removed. I agree with you. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I support this Bill, I have concerns that I would want to raise. First of all, it is important to note that national resources belong to the people of Kenya. Therefore, people need to be part of resource management, and guaranteeing a loan is part of resources of this country. This Bill should set out clearly how people will be involved in that guarantee. I can see it says that the Cabinet Secretary will report 14 days after. I wonder why that report cannot be made before the guarantee is done. This is because ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, once the guarantee is done, if the decision is made by an individual or a particular office, how will we ensure that the guaranteed loan is beneficial to the entire country? As I have said, guaranteed loans are part of the resources of the country. So, the whole country should be sure that they stand to gain from the guaranteed loans. If we are guaranteeing loans to entities, how will we treat those entities with substantial private ownership because that has been a big issue? We have been guaranteeing loans even to KenGen which has substantial private ownership. This, ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is an issue that I wanted to raise on Clause 4(c) about the fact that the Cabinet Secretary shall not guarantee a loan under sub- view

• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Minister to mislead this House that the guaranteeing is not borrowing and yet it is similar to borrowing? When you guarantee a loan, you are saying that if the entity fails, the Government of Kenyan will pay. So, indirectly, the Government is borrowing. view

• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we are entitled to statements of fact. This Bill, which I am sure the Minister has gone through, Clause 7 says very clearly that money paid by the Cabinet Secretary under guarantee, including any expenses incurred by the Cabinet Secretary, shall be a debt due to the national Government. These are loans! view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. I think many a time we get faced with urgent and emergency situations. Therefore, as a country, this is something we live with everyday. Therefore, legislating on how we can set contingency fund and how it can be spent is a welcome idea. I am approving the fact that the Cabinet Secretary will be satisfied that the issue to release funds for is actually urgent and unforeseen. I want us to look for a way of making sure that those issues that we appropriate funds to are urgent and ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this amendment but I wanted to propose further amendment in Subclause 5(2) so that instead of having seven, we reduce it to four because we have reduced the number of commissioners to three. view
