• 31 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security on an incident that took place at Khushiku Sub-Location of Khwisero Constituency where a village was raided and ten people maimed. Out of the ten people, two are dead. I would like to know in what circumstances these people died and what the Government is doing to make sure that the perpetrators of the crime are brought to justice and what measures Government is putting in place to ensure security of the people. view
• 26 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is talking about the housing units. But the cells at Butere were meant to hold approximately 10 inmates. On any one day, we have no less than 30 inmates in a cell that was meant for only 10 inmates. What is the Assistant Minister doing to address this issue? view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to tell us why there is such a hurry to create new districts without necessarily taking services closer to the people. What does he expect to achieve by creating a district in a place where there is no District Lands Officer, District Accountant, District Development Officer and District Lands Registrar? What is the purpose, therefore, of forming new districts if the services cannot be taken closer to the people? view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Finance regarding an issue that was raised by an hon. Member of this House, so that full investigation is conducted--- view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issues raised were very serious as they would have two-fold effects. One, they could very easily lead to the collapse of a very important institution, leading to the loss of savings by poor wananchi . It could also lead to the total collapse of the Nairobi Stock Exchange with obvious consequences. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are certain issues that were raised by the hon. Member. In his reply, I would like the Minister for Finance to address, amongst other issues that were raised:- (a) To confirm that one James Mwangi, the Chief ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could he confirm that it is the same, Mr. James Mwangi, who was adversely mentioned in the Goldenberg Inquiry? If, indeed, the three allegations are correct, is he fit to be a director of a bank? Is it true that the same gentleman owns a 30 per cent shareholding in Equity Bank through proxies? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, could the Minister for Finance clarify whether, it is indeed true, that a principal shareholder of Dyer and Blair Investment Bank, the leading broker on shares, is also a shareholder in Equity Bank? Is it ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do appreciate the seriousness of this matter. But whereas we want to see indigenous banks grow in this country, we do have a responsibility to ensure that, that is done above board. view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: I want to seek a clarification on the following: One, I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm or deny that the Chief Executive Officer of Equity Bank was part of a bank that collapsed. Was he part of the management that led to collapse of a bank, where millions of Kenyans lost their money? If, indeed, that is correct, is the same gentleman fit to be a Chief Executive Officer of another bank, even if we were to put other issues aside? Could the Assistant Minister also confirm or deny that it is the same Mr. Mwangi - because ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this debate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Office of the President is charged with very heavy responsibilities. There are two main functions it performs, according to me, that is, Provincial Administration and Internal Security. I would like to acknowledge that in the area of Provincial Administration, there has been a marked improvement because in one of my travels abroad, I met a very happy Kenyan who told me that they went to a chief's office and they were surprised to see what they called a "customer care" office. ... view
