• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Talking about land in relation to livestock, you will realize that cattle rustling is all about the fight for land and other factors. When you look at this sector, we refer you again to the Maputo Protocol, so that you understand why it is important to have the 10 per cent financing package under this sector. If land issues can be resolved, most of these view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the Printed Estimates and counting the lines from top to bottom, you will see that you have 26,000 line items. Looking at the entries in that particular document, you will see that you have three columns. You need to be a supernatural being for you to go through that kind of thing and comprehend it in less than three days. Even if you read the document none stop, you cannot do that. The only way we think that the Mars Group were able to get to what they came to was because they had ... view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, have they already taken people to court because of accessing crucial Government information? view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have perused the list. It contains names of Ministers who are serving in this Government, and senior civil servants. In include people who cannot, in the faintest imagination, be termed “squatters”. They are the high and might in this country. So, would I be in order to ask the Assistant Minister to own up to the fact that they gave the land to their friends and people who are powerful in the Ministries, and that they did not give land to any squatter? view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister says he cannot give the police the timeframe within which to complete their investigation. Does he have to wait until the next Budget for them to conclude their investigations or will the investigations be concluded within the two or three months, so that we can prepare ourselves for more discrepancies involving billions? view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a Government that is in slumber cannot continue to penalise its citizenry because of those things. We know that the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) is now handicapped. The Chair has heard that the KPLC is a hindrance to the negotiations and yet this company has been a subject of rescue by the same Government. How come the same Government could not see this company collapsing? Secondly, how come the Government cannot flex its muscles and force the KPLC to write-off that debt so that the Pan African Paper Mills can resumes its operations? view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in seconding this Motion I want to thank Mr. Wamalwa for bringing up this issue. He never ceases to amuse me by his feeling for the oppressed. You heard him when he spoke about the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) loans. You have heard him speak about Mau Mau . The story of pensioners is a very sad story. Under the current arrangement, once you have your money stuck in this organization, it is like you are condemned to death. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join the rest of my colleagues in thanking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for a job well-done. At least, we have the appetizer in terms of things to come. This Budget reflects that style. I have used the word “thinking outside the box” because that is one word that has been over-used. If Mr. Kimunya and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join the hon. Members who are literally mourning this budget. Looking at the whole thing, you get surprised at who works where and what they do there. I am saying this to the people who work at the Treasury. I am glad they are here. There are problems when you allocate 0.01 per cent of the Budget to this Ministry. The first problem I assume you have is that you do not know the five factors of production which are entrepreneurship, capital, land, labour and climate. If you look at any country, ... view
