  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this adjournment Motion. I would like to thank hon. Members of Parliament for the good work they have done for this Session that is ending today. I want to thank them for the good Bills, both at the Committee level and in the plenary. I would like to thank hon. Members for playing their oversight role in a constitutional manner. I hope that when we come back we will do more than we did this Session. view

  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: It is high time the Uwezo Fund was disbursed to the constituencies so that the people who were intended to benefit from that money benefit. I would like to remind Members that, that was the money that was meant for the run-off. That is the Kshs6 billion that was meant for the run-off of the last general election. We are almost heading half way to the next election, the run off did not happen and we expect the Uwezo Fund to go down to the constituencies so that it can be used. view

  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, God works in miracles. Today, we had a Motion on the Order Paper by the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Anglo Leasing matter. I am very happy for the hon. Members who barred this matter from being presented to the House today because this Parliament was almost converted into an agency of paying contractors of this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: It is not the business of Parliament to pay contractors, but it is the business of the Government to pay its contractors. It is also not the business of Parliament to involve itself in ligation in courts of law between contractors and the people who awarded them those contracts. For those reasons it was an absurdity to expect Parliament to rubberstamp payment of a contractor that was to be done purely by the Treasury. view

  • 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to thank the Members who stood firm and said that, that would not happen in this House today. This is because as hon. Ababu alluded, we were fully prepared this afternoon. We took enough lunch so that we could come here and tell our colleagues that this is not the right time and place to pay Anglo Leasing money. This is a contract that was never paid during the Moi and Kibaki eras. I do not know why it should be paid now. view
