• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that there is a road being constructed in my constituency, when we know for a fact that there is none? view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. You realise that we have three versions of the Estimates Books in this House. There is a book I have seen the Minister using, which is summarising expenditure on the Office of the President. The explanation on the vehicles as given by the Minister was good. I would like him to take us through those items on that same page because the expenditures seem not add up. As for the Operating Expenses amount to Kshs255,500,000. These are explained as banking services, the contracted cards and the legal fees. It is ... view

• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, go to page two of the Printed Estimates and check the last Item. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to get a clarification on Item 3110100 - Purchase of Buildings. Could the Minister categorically tell us which buildings have been purchased? We are aware that the CID Headquarters is under construction and they have moved to a new building. He should be very specific. view
• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Given that I am on the Opposition side, the practice is such that the Chair should give a chance to hon. Members from KANU and LDP so that a balance is achieved in the House. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether he is aware that offices of Lake Victoria North Water Board are situated in Kakamega,quite far from many beneficiaries especially from North Rift; and, (b) if another branch office could be opened in Eldoret Municipality to facilitate better delivery of services. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, 150 kilometres could be a very short distance for the hon. Minister, depending on where you come from. In my place, that is quite far. The officers in these water offices are not even aware that these offices are supposed to be branch offices of the main office. How could they be offices for the branch when the officers are not even aware? Has the Minister issued a circular so that they are aware that people are supposed to use those offices? view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request the Minister to consider re-grouping of districts that form the various boards. This is because various districts have unique problems. The four districts from Rift Valley Province are the water catchment area of that particular Board. Since those districts have similar problems, could the Minister consider re-grouping them because of the various unique problems that they have? view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I would like to support the proposals outlined by the Minister for Finance. However, there are a few issues that we must address as a House. While I appreciate that zero-rating of tax will in the final analysis allow Kenyans to purchase items at lower prices, I would like to request the Minister to look at the issue of zero-rating wheat. What would be the impact of zero-rating wheat? The price of maize flour may finally be lower but what happens to the locally produced wheat? There is a danger that imported wheat flour could easily be ... view
