• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Given that hon. Members are now repeating the same issues, will I be in order to request you to call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Hon. Members will recall that the same Motion was in this House some time last year. The Motion was rejected by this House. It has come back, probably, with a change of the names of the proposed membership. We have now been told that the names proposed in this Motion are of people of integrity. I am not sure whether the rest of the Members of this House have no integrity at all. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, already, Parliament has two watchdog ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he should have sought my permission because that is a point of information. However, that is not even correct information. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said very clearly that Kenyans know why the fight against corruption has not been won. This is common knowledge. Therefore, to create another institution to do that job is, indeed, a duplication. I do not know whether these hon. Members do not want some extra allowance. We should, as an institution, be looking at ways of reducing expenditure in this country. However, when hon. Members want to get ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure that you and I know that for every sitting of a Committee, hon. Members get Kshs5,000. That is a fact. In fact, some of these meetings last for only ten minutes and people run out because they will get their Kshs5,000. It is a shame that we cannot even produce the much needed work that we have been given by Parliament. This is common knowledge.With those few remarks, I beg to oppose the Motion.

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Finance:- (a) why and how the NSSF shares at the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) were sold; (b) what the current shareholding of KPLC per major shareholder is; and, (c) whether the Government intends to restore the said shares. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell this House which broker handled the sale of the shares? Were any tenders floated for selecting that broker? view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Motion because it is a normal practice. But I would like to make some comments. The Government should prioritise the purchasing of strategic reserves by using the money meant for Emergency Relief and Refugee Assistance. The other day, the Minister for Agriculture said that a substantial amount of food will be brought from outside the country. We could not raise adequate stocks for the reserves because of the low price that was prevailing in the market. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge the Ministry of Finance to give adequate finances. It ... view
• 6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Energy the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that there is a shortage of electricity materials such as transformers and poles? (b) What plans does he have to ensure that these materials are urgently procured to facilitate the expansion of power supply, especially to rural areas? view
• 6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I asked this Question because many Members of Parliament, including myself, have paid for the supply of electricity to our various constituencies, and yet, the KPLC has been unable to do the necessary construction because of the shortage of these materials. Could the Assistant Minister assure the House that, indeed, there will be no further shortages? It looks like there is poor planning by the KPLC. view
• 6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
