• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to second this Motion. It is now on record that in the last three or so months, this House has lived up to some of its expectations especially with regard to the passage of Bills. view
• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those hon. Members that do not know the various procedures that the House has to go through before a Bill becomes law, are now aware of them. We have seen here during debates of various Government and Private Members Bills that indeed it is not easy to pass them given the fact that we have limited time allocated for contributions. Nevertheless, we have been able to show that with determination, we can actually live up to the expectations of Kenyans. I want to commend both sides of the House for their good work even though on some ... view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, under Head 360 on Planning and Development on page 529, Item No.2210800 - Hospitality Supplies and Services--- The figures are printed in small prints; I think they are deliberately meant not to be noticed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have noted that in this financial year's provision, there is a sum of Kshs161,025,159, while in the last financial year, the same item had been allocated a sum of Kshs23,025,159. I would like the Minister to tell us what occasioned this huge leap of close to Kshs130 million? view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 531, Head 360 on Planning and Development, Sub-head 077 - Community Development Programmes, Item No. 2220100 - Routine Maintenance - Vehicles and Other Transport Equipment, I just wanted to understand whether the Minister is serious that they will only need a paltry Kshs100,000 for routine maintenance of vehicles and other transport equipment. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, here, we are talking of maintaining vehicles and other transport equipment. What are these other transport equipment? Do they include view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: ? Probably, that is the only transport equipment that can be maintained with Kshs100,000. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to refer to page 534, Head 367, Contributions in Lieu of Rates, Headquarters. If you look at the provision for Rentals of Produced Assets, under Item 2210600, you will see that last year, there was a sum of Kshs500 million. This year, the amount has reduced to Kshs300 million. Interestingly, in the next financial year and the year that will follow, the figure is projected to jump to, and remain constant, at Kshs500 million. What is occasioning these small variances? view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am hoping that my friend, Mr. Oparanya, understood what the Minister said. The Minister admitted that the Item was not clear to him. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the rules are that the Chair's eye caught me. I will leave the issue Mr. Oparanya had raised for him to pursue it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on page 535, there are two interesting Items, under Head 415; that is the second and the third Items. I just want the Minister to tell us, regarding the second Item, what he means by Purchase of Specialised Plant Equipment and Machinery, costing Kshs800,000. A similar item last year was allocated Kshs600,000. The other one is on Rehabilitation and Renovations of Plant Machinery and Equipment. Last year, ... view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, whereas it is not clear at what point we shall be looking at the Local Authorities Transfer Funds (LATF), let me just ask the Minister the following question: On page 316, Head 360, there is confusion. There are Heads 3110200, 3110400 and the other two that follow. I hope the Minister is with me. Head 3110200 is on Construction of Buildings. Last year, they had an allocation of Kshs46.7 million. This year, the figure has jumped to Kshs215 million. We want to understand what is going on because this is Planning and Development. What is ... view
