7 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, most of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Reports in Parliament recommend blacklisting of contractors. Why has the Ministry not taken the initiative to blacklist these contractors? What does it take for a Ministry to make a decision to blacklist a contractor?

7 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seeking a Ministerial Statement in light of the recent sale of Safaricom shares. There are revelations that the Capital Markets Authority allowed Safaricom to issue two sets of prospectus; one on 14th March and the other on 28th March, which are materially different. I would like the Minister to explain the circumstances under which these two prospectus were issued and why the Capital Markets Authority allowed the first prospectus which did not have the signatures of the external auditors, the signatures of directors and also notes to the Accounts were not attached to it, ...

7 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to correct that my name is hon. Mbadi. So, you left out letter "d". Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion and after supporting it, I want to move an amendment on the same. But I support the Motion given that we know the devastating effects that the post-election violence had in this country, especially in the Rift Valley Province, which was most affected and most farmers had to leave their farms. Now, they have just gone back to their farms at a time when the rains have ...

7 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Probably, I need to read the lines so that the hon. Member can understand what I am trying to move. The amended Motion should read:- "THAT, in view of the devastating effects that severe drought and the post-2007 election crisis had on farmers--" The words "severe drought and"-- I am sorry, I left out the word "and". These words should be added immediately after the word "that" in the first line. Then, on my second amendment, I think there is no contention on that one.

7 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The reason why I am moving these amendments is because apart from the post 2007 crisis, there are some areas in this country that were hard-hit with drought. There are so many areas like North Eastern, parts of Coast Province and other Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) that were hard-hit by drought, and the farmers took loans from the AFC and the ADC. These farmers will not be able to service their loans because the yields will not be as they expected. So, I request the House to consider amending this Motion to incorporate ...

6 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Assistant Minister should answer the Question very clearly because it is in the public knowledge that over 90 per cent of the deaths in Kisumu were as a result of police bullets whereas in other towns you could find that people died out of violence caused by civilians. However, the deaths in Kisumu were as a result of shooting by police. I want the Assistant Minister to explain why in Kisumu over 90 per cent of the deaths were as a result of police shooting. He has, indeed, said that some people ...

6 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I thank the Assistant Minister for answering that question, if I got the question correctly, it was whether he could now confirm that Mumias Sugar Company has complied with the directive. The directive was given in September last year. Have they complied or have they refused to comply with the directive? If they have refused to comply, what is the Ministry going to do?

23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to inform the Assistant Minister that even before the Ministry moves ahead to construct the headquarters for the new district that was created last year, they should consider constructing district headquarters for the districts that had been created previously. I have an example of my district, Suba District, which was created in 1995. The headquarters was gazetted to be at Gingo. As we speak today, it is only the district commissioner's house that is under construction. The district operations are still being conducted from the former Mbita Division offices which is ...
