17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a well-known fact that when people consult very loudly, the deal tends to be noisy. But that is a side issue. I do not want to deal with that. I was saying that when we have Ministries being indicted for non-submission of their April 17, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 661 accounts for audit, it is a serious issue. I have just been pointing out cases where the office of the Attorney-General is accused of not communicating.

17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
If I have to respond to everything--- Somebody is being called Ms. Martha Karua's son. It is not fair. I did not know that Ms. Karua had a son here; Mr. Wanjala. We have seen situations which are synonymous with the issues raised about the treatment of the Civil Contingencies Fund. These situations gave rise to the numerous or the very heavy pending bills that we witness today. This is an election year and we have began seeing very interesting signs. We have started witnessing shortages of fuel. We only hope and I want to caution that those shortages are ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a point of argument and not a point of order.

17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I never even ruled or said that he is out of order. I merely said, in response, as should be expected, that he was raising a point of argument. I did not make any ruling, as I know very good that is a matter for the Chair. If he wants to argue that this Government is very good, he will be given a full 30 minutes to make that point. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on this very Floor issues have been raised touching on the Ministry of Transport. We have already in the air ...

17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not willing to engage in this filibustering. I am right to cast aspersions. It is this very Government which has not been able to explain to this House very many issues that we have raised. There is the issue of the Armenians. Public funds have been spent and we are discussing the Public Accounts Committee report, an issue of accountability. So, I am quite relevant and in order.

Public funds were used and it is, therefore, very relevant when we are discussing the report of the Public Accounts Committee. With those few remarks, as much as my time has been wasted, I beg to support.

12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to say a few words about this Report of the PAC on the Government of Kenya Accounts for the year 1999/2000 as laid by the Committee. Even a very casual reading of the various recommendations by the PAC will clearly show that, again, like the ones for the previous year, the same malpractices and shortcomings within Government Ministries are being highlighted. This is a matter that the House now must deal with and with finality so that we can minimise cases or instances of waste of public resources. ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is so sad that we are in the fifth year of this Ninth Parliament and a number of hon. Members have still not come to terms with the basic rules of how we operate. I am not, in any way---

12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I forgive him for he knows not what he is saying or if he knows, he does not know that it is wrong. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is just a few months ago that we debated and adopted the Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the accounts of Government for the year 1998/1999. As we discuss this particular Report, we should have a Treasury Memorandum showing that this Government department about which Parliament recommended that this-and-that action be taken has done this-and-that to correct this kind of shortcoming. It is very simple! ...

Precisely so, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir.
