• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Information and Communications the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Does the Government plan to dispose of a parcel of land charged to the Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) situated in Kilimani in Nairobi to Ms Bharti Airtel Company Limited and, if so, is the planned disposal being done in compliance with the Public Procurement and Disposal Act? (b) Will the proceeds of the sale be transferred to PCK? view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the Minister’s answer, it is very clear that the Government has decided to sell that land to that company. The land, according to the Minister, is valued at Kshs543 million. One would, therefore, expect that, that should go through the open tendering system. The question I would like to ask is this: Was there an open tender for the selling of that land or how have you complied with the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005? view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Even though the Minister has quoted the State Corporations’ Act, my Question was with regard to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2005. Part “c” of the State Corporations Act is after other methods of procurement and disposal have been done. The first preference is by open tendering. The Minister has told us clearly that this investor wrote to the President, and maybe in consultation with the Prime Minister gave authority. Could he tell us where he derived the authority to give the Executive the mandate to order for allocation of land to a private ... view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have just heard the Minister talk of constitutional powers. I do not know whether he is referring to the current Constitution or the old one. Could he specifically tell us which constitutional powers have given the President the power to dispose of public land in this country? view

• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. A very interesting precedent is being set in the House. Is it in order for the Minister to ask a Backbencher a question and then he goes ahead to answer the question from the Minister? view

• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just raising a very interesting point of order. Is it in order for the Minister to ask a question to the Member of Parliament and then the hon. Member goes ahead to answer the Minister yet it should be the other way round? It was a very interesting development. Probably you missed it. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see a lot of obsession at the Ministry to construct fish ponds, even though I am really against the idea. The Minister is constructing many fish ponds in Central Province, and yet we do not grow coffee and tea in Nyanza and he wants to kill our lake economy. The biggest problem that fishermen have, especially the small-scale fishermen, is that they have no resources to acquire proper fishing gear which would not catch the small fish. What has the Ministry done to set up a fund so that small fishermen can get loans to ... view
