• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute towards the adoption of this Report by the joint Committees. I support the adoption of this Report of the Committee basically because of two reasons. Number one, I am an accountant, and looking at those books, those two Committees virtually did not have enough time to probe and come to the gist of this matter. So, I agree with the recommendation that an independent forensic audit needs to be carried out to really determine whether there was an attempt by the Treasury to defraud the people of ... view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to put it this way. The amount that is being talked about here is over Kshs10 billion. That is a lot of money compared to our total Budget. But I want to mention – and, maybe, this is something that has missed the eyes of--- No one has talked about. Out of the bulk of that Kshs10 billion, Kshs8 billion view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was saying before I was interrupted by my friend that if the Kenyan Government was being financed by a donor, it would completely miss the donor funds. The Kenyan public has also a right to question whether they should continue financing the Kenya Government if such mistakes can appear in the budget estimates.

• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has said that the hon.

• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Listening to lawyers, the first question I asked myself was: Do we really need lawyers in interpreting this?
