• 16 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Subsequently, the Attorney-General was totally handicapped in proceeding with the prosecutions against those thought to be culpable. I want to explain again that the 12 whistle blowers refused to record statements with the police. The Attorney-General, on request, could not constitute a charge sheet because he lacked evidence from the same whistle blowers. This was confirmed by the whistle blowers. More interestingly, some of the complainants whose letters raised these allegations and which were tabled in this House were found to have been members of the SACCO who had various challengers which I ... view
• 16 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I said “all of them”, I withdraw the words “all of them”; but some of them are, indeed, in court. I think in modern democracy, we need to respect whistleblowers, because they try to highlight what they feel is wrong in that particular Sacco. Whistleblowers against us, Ministers, the Speaker or anybody should be encouraged, particularly when they identify themselves. So, I am declining to name them because that would amount to something not very good to be picked by the Press; I do not really feel comfortable doing that. So, I beg to ... view
• 16 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Members who have contributed. I also want to clear the fears that, indeed, all figures were not checked. All the figures were checked and the amount in question is Kshs4 million. As for the mysterious Langat, I am gratified to note that already, Parliament is delivering letters to the Members’ own offices and not in the pigeon holes as, perhaps, it studies the system to see how it can enhance security within Parliament. That notwithstanding, we will still be looking forward to somebody being prosecuted for illegal entry ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to move the debate on the findings of the investigations by the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives over the alleged mismanagement of Funds and finance at Harambee SACCO Society Limited following your directions on Tuesday, 31st August, 2010, after a debate on a Question raised on this matter in this House. As we are all aware, on 31st August, the House debated a response by the Attorney-General to a Question raised hon. Ms. Karua, relating to the mismanagement of funds by the Central Management Committee (CMC) of Harambee SACCO Society Limited. view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand corrected. However, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives on the inquiry into allegations of mismanagement at the Harambee SACCO Society Limited laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 4th November, 2010. On 31st August, 2010, you directed that we move with speed and investigate all matters touching on this Harambee SACCO Society Limited. In doing so, we called several witnesses. You allowed a timeframe of three weeks, but because of the Pan- African Parliament meeting, we extended ... view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I used that road yesterday and I had to go back to Mombasa to take a plane. Is the Minister in order to say that he cannot go there to give his people hope? Those people are definitely agitated and angry. By the Minister going there, maybe by a helicopter because he cannot get there using a vehicle, the quagmire can be resolved and the road cleared. view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in 1975, Robert McNamara, the then World Bank Chief described what is absolute poverty. In his own words, he defined this as people living in conditions so degrading to deny human dignity. The conditions as defined in the IDPs schemes are characterized by very poor feeding regime, shelter, health and lack of privacy. One time, a Member, on the Floor of this House, described the conditions in which these people live. It is so painful for me as the Member for Naivasha, where I have over 60 per cent of the IDPs, who were not displaced ... view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives on the Inquiry into Allegations of Mismanagement at the Harambee Sacco Society Limited laid on the Table today, Thursday, 4th November, 2010. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) why the Ministry of Energy has persistently locked out local residents out of recruitment in basic manual jobs at all its operations and affiliates in Naivasha; (b) to provide a breakdown of all persons employed in the last one year by Geothermal Development Company (GDC) and their contractors, KenGen and Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) within Naivasha and state where they come from within Naivasha Constituency; and, (c) when the apparent discrimination against local residents will stop. view
• 4 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has confused all those organizations. There are three distinct organizations; Geothermal Development Company (GDC) and their contractors, KenGen and Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC). view
