• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (c) why the Kshs8.6 billion loan from the China Government to the Government of Kenya is being paid directly to the China Roads and Bridges Corporation and not through the Exchequer and whether the decision was meant to circumvent the procurement procedures and regulations. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is believed that when two countries are entering into contract; each country tries as much as possible to safeguard its own interests. I believe that the Kenya Government in entering such a contract, should have carried out due diligence to make sure that the interest of the Kenyan public and the taxpayers’ money is safeguarded. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House what the total contract sum is, how much is coming from the Chinese Government and how much is coming from the Kenya Government? What is the rate of interest payable on the loan that ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it really in order for the Assistant Minister to evade my Question deliberately? My Question is talking about single sourcing. By just referring to single sourcing, he should have known that I intended to know the due diligence that the Ministry has taken. Why did they single source? Were the terms so favourable? view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to evade Mr. Olago’s question which was very simple? Is he implying that we are not bound by decisions made by the World Bank? The World Bank blacklisted the parent company for eight years for being involved in corruption in the Philippines. It is very clear and it was posted on the World Bank website on 14th January. The Kenyan Government went ahead and awarded a contract to the same company that was blacklisted yet the public will pay for the same. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had a number of questions on this issue and I feel not satisfied. I feel the answer that the Assistant Minister has given is not satisfactory, but probably, I will pursue it in a different way. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has indicated that the design work was carried out again between 2006 and 2007 yet the earlier design was done in 1970. From 1970 to 2006, a lot of things have taken place including the coming up of human settlement, especially the Githunguri slums. Has the Ministry taken into consideration view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the recent past, we have seen a lot of complaints from the Assistant Ministers regarding lack of duties or jobs, or clearly defined responsibilities. The Prime Minister has mentioned four duties of Assistant Ministers, but what we hear is that they are only delegated one duty, which is to answer Questions in Parliament. As the co-ordinator and supervisor of Ministries, what is the Prime Minister doing to ensure that there is harmony in all the Ministries, so that we do not see the kind of exchanges that we see between Assistant Ministers and Ministers? view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The speed with which this strike was resolved after the workers withdrew their labour indicates that there was high-handedness in the management. If they had taken action earlier, the strike would have been averted before it took place. What is the Ministry doing with a management that seems to be complacent, and with a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who seems to have outlived his usefulness in that position? Why can the Ministry not take a bold step to replace such an officer, so that there could be fresh blood to run such an important airline? view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I happen to represent Suba District. From the answer that the Assistant Minister has given what is stopping them from allocating funds for the construction of the courts is unavailability of land. I really do not know what level of consultation the Assistant Minister has done to come to conclusion that land is not available because as far as I am concerned, the district headquarters is going to be at Magunga Trading Centre, and there is adequate land. view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: What level of consultation the Ministry has done to come to the conclusion that there is no land yet I am aware there is land for the construction of the court? view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion on Vote 01. First of all, I must say that one of the positive things that I have noticed or witnessed is that this is one Ministry that is really accessible. This is a Ministry where one can walk even to the Office of the PS without appointment and be granted an appointment. I think that is a plus to the Ministry because I have tried accessing various Ministries, it is very hard to access some senior officers in those Ministries. I ... view
