• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance with regard to the continued recent depreciation of the Kenyan shilling. Indeed, the shilling has continued to depreciate from a mean of Kshs80.8 to the dollar on 3rd January, 2011 to a 17-year low exchange rate of Kshs89.4 on Tuesday, 14th June, 2011. This turn of event is likely to affect the manufacturing sector, could fuel further inflationary pressures and erode expected gains of boosting import of maize, wheat and rice with the consequence of terminating the ... view

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas I do not really agree with the headline on today’s issues of The Star, and whereas I do agree that you made that ruling yesterday, in your consideration of this matter, I would urge that this House exercises tolerance especially to media houses.

Some of these stories could just be thought-provoking. I do not see the damage ... view

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This document was accepted as admissible by the Chair on the strength of the signature. The Chair was perfectly in order to accept that letter as admissible. However, given that the letter is turning out not to be authentic, it appears to me that the Member deliberately misled the Chair and the House to accept a letter as admissible yet in the real sense it was a forgery.

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I would like to ask the Minister categorically and I am speaking to him as an accountant, what has he done to the senior staff in the internal audit and finance departments?

I am not exonerating him but I am speaking the facts. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Finally, I wonder whether he got management letters from the external auditor; that is the Controller and Auditor-General. Was there any mention of such an anomaly from 2005 to 2009? I find negligence also on the part of the external auditors, but could the Minister clarify whether there was any mention of such an anomaly in the management letters which come out every year? view
