• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to the information I have, there are no names of suspects with the police. If there are any, I would ask her to give me those names, so that I can give them to the police for the police to interrogate them. We will arrest those suspects if at all there are names. As far as I am concerned, there are no names yet. view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe you have known me longer. I do not lie or mislead this House and I will never. If you want me to avail the names, I can do it within 30 minutes from the back here. I will call the OCPD just to give me the names. As I speak, we have three CID officers sitting within the compound of hon. Njuguna. I will also ask after this whether the Member has been to that home because he might not be aware if he has not been there. view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me table the names on Wednesday morning. view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will table the names here even within 15 minutes! view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do so! Let me also respond to what Ms. Karua said. She said that we normally agree that we will provide security and, later on, we do not do so. In my recollection, I think Ms. Karua was dealing with my substantive Minister and, later on, she asked me to push him to provide her the security. So it is not Mr. Ojode! We are different! This is Mr. Ojode and my substantive Minister is Prof. Saitoti, the presidential aspirant. view

• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that workman injury benefits due to ex-police officer Bakari Maulana Fahim have not been paid. However, I wish to confirm that an amount of Kshs1,813,920 is being processed by the Minister of Finance as per the advice from the Minister of Labour in their letter Ref.WIDA/MSCA/137 dated 28th September, 2010. I wish to table a copy of the letter. (b) The benefits will be paid when the process is finalized. I have evidence to show in the House that the Ministry of Labour had worked on a computerized sheet ... view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to give the chronology of events to show that my Ministry is very serious. We have so far paid Kshs256,945.80 which include the refund of women children pension scheme which was Kshs7,490 and an interest of Kshs255.80. They were prepared and paid to the Public Trustee, Mombasa, on 25th February, 2010. So, whatever was the balance is now being processed by the Ministry of Finance. It amounts to Kshs1,813,930. So, that is what the parents are waiting for. Although the Ministry of Finance does not fall under my docket, I am trying to fast track ... view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the question we also asked the Ministry of Labour. Why it should take so long because after providing the details of the officer, we were also expecting that the labour officers would compute and then take to the Ministry of Finance. It took a while at the Ministry of Labour. That is not on our side. view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said here that when we got the files, first of all, we used it to pay off those entitlements within our docket. We did that immediately. We then transferred the same file to the Ministry of Labour to compute the officer’s entitlement and that is exactly what we did and they took it to the Ministry of Finance. So, what we are doing from our side because the officer was working for us, we are trying to fast track the Director of Pension to, at least, make this cheque available to the parent immediately. view
