• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I seek your indulgence. This is serious and it is not a joking matter any more! As we speak, there is no road and I cannot even reach my constituency because of this very road. I need the Chair to come up with a lasting solution to this particular road. What can I do because I have two contradicting statements? One by the Assistant Minister and another one in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by His Excellency the President. Which one should I go for? view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: I am not satisfied with the answer! Let me ask the Assistant Minister one simple question. When we passed the Vote of his Ministry recently, you remember that the politically-correct districts got over Kshs1 billion just for maintenance of those roads within those districts. But because we are not a politically-correct district, that is why we were given Kshs3 million for Migori, Homa Bay and Rachuonyo districts. Is the Assistant Minister himself satisfied that there was no money at all which was allocated for the repair or re-carpeting of this particular road? In his own district, he got Kshs1.2 billion ... view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Finance what action he has taken to implement the Report of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the special audit on procurement of passport issuing equipment by the Department of Immigration, Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs, which was adopted by the House on 18th April, 2006. view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that the Minister has not answered my Question. The PAC Report did not recommend anything to do with the formation of an Inter-Ministerial Committee. My Question is very simple. The Minister is a very good friend of mine and he knows what I am asking. What is the Minister doing to implement the Special Audit Report of PAC which was adopted in the House? view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is going round in circles because he does not want to answer the actual question. You know, by February, the Government had already spent Kshs15 billion in terms of interest and penalties for these contracts, and that is taxpayers' money. We are losing too much money. The PAC Report, among other things, recommended that those who are adversely mentioned must be prosecuted, yet majority of them are still holding public offices. Once a thief is caught, he should be taken to court, prosecuted and--- view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm to this House that he will implement the PAC Report which was adopted by this House, which recommended prosecution of those who are still scot-free? view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have seen the Report, but I think it is biased. It has been on record that we are trying to do away with single sourcing. But if we support this Report the way it is, it means we are bringing back single sourcing. What do we do? I have proposed an amendment--- view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to contribute so that I can move my amendment so that it can either be accepted or dropped. view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to start by saying that I support the sentiments raised by some of my colleagues who have spoken, especially hon. Kajwang. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the same police officer is still on the payroll and works in 2204 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 19, 2006 Macalder. The boy who was shot comes from Ndhiwa. What action will the Assistant Minister take against that police officer who is still on the payroll? That officer should have been interdicted. view
