• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we met this morning to address the issue of corruption. I would urge Members of Parliament and the public to read that report. If you do that, you will see that the Ministries that come into contact with citizens on a day-to-day basis are the ones that are listed as corrupt because of certain delays in delivery of service. 2056 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 As you may appreciate, for a society that has been immersed in corruption for many years, when an action is delayed, immediately, one thinks that officers want something from him. ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I have covered quite a bit of it. I would like Members to join their communities in community policy because that brings security forces closer to the people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of Government Press, suggestions have been made on the Floor of this House and we are seriously going to look into that matter in order to find out whether there is any reason why we cannot move in the direction that this House has suggested. With those remarks, I beg to move. view

• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Where is that Item? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this Item includes a variety of expenses that would not assume their own numbers within the numeniration of the Estimates. They are lumped together because they cover a mixture of requirements. That is why they become Other Operating Expenses. They include write-off of debts, legal fees, compensation payments, contracted services payments, bank service commissions and charges which arise from the total expenditure of the Ministry as a whole. The betting services cannot be placed under any particular Item. Boards and Committee--- 2058 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it also includes Boards and Committees expenses, State hospitality cost and certain confidential expenditures like security operations, for example, an operation that we are undertaking in Marsabit. We undertake some operations in-between districts, particularly the districts which border Pokot where there is cattle rustling. These are the events which you cannot plan for. This Item meets all those contingencies. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you remember, these Estimate books used to comprise of a number of huge volumes which sometimes were impossible to bring to this House while carrying with your hands. So, there was the issue of trying to reduce those volumes. Consequently, if you insist on Items appearing, then we are going back to square one. Now, in this particular case, I explained about the details. The debt charges are here. Contracted services, that is cleaning services, are there. Surely, we are not expected to stay in offices which are not cleaned. The legal fees and ... view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me clarify. I was talking about these Items as they arise from the main book but we have this other book which is for district allocations. Now, it all depends on which book the Questioner wants me to refer to. We have one which mentions every district but there are certain Items which remain at the headquarters because the services are initiated there and cannot be allocated to districts. Who will know whether cattle rustling is going to take place in Samburu, Laikipia or Turkana? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the brief I have in terms of analysis of this Item "Other Operating Expenses" is this one I am holding. If you want, we will discuss it and then I will table it. It can be seen but if you insist that I should supply the House with a copy, I will say I cannot because this is the only copy I have. I can give details. 2060 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 view
