• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in the Printed Estimates, there is nothing that shows anything regarding LATF? view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: I think they are connected, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. There is a small book that shows allocations for every local authority. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is an allocation that is titled Service Delivery and then another one titled Performance. As the Minister explains about Overhaul and Refurbishment of Construction and Civil Works, he could also explain what this means. Is this Item from where councillors' allowances are to be paid? I suspect that, that is what it means. view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution on the Vote of the Ministry of Local Government as duly presented by the Minister. First of all, I want to start by acknowledging that the Minister, in keeping with what the House has directed, has provided us with the district allocations. However, quite sadly, looking at this booklet, no reference has been made to my district. It appears as if the Minister for Local Government wants to remove us from the list of the local authorities that he has. Hon. Musila, when making ... view
• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is some solace or some form of consolation for me. I have said time and again that there is need for the various Ministries to streamline the way they allocate development resources. Like most of my colleagues who have spoken before me, I am concerned about the application of LATF. It is enormous. We appreciate that this is taxpayers' money. We need to be told how it is being applied. For the period that I have been in Parliament, I have never seen any document showing how LATF in my local authority is applied ... view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to continue moving this Motion. I had given the background information regarding the issues that the Committee was examining. Indeed, it is important to recapitulate on some of the issues. During the year ended 30th June, 2001, the Sugar Development Fund incurred a loss totalling to Kshs54,843,925 on the export of sugar procured from Nzoia and Chemelil Sugar companies on the ground that in order to secure the European market, it was in the national interest and unavoidable to incur such losses. However, no evidence has been provided to ... view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the foregoing, it is very clear that Parliament, not too long ago - in 2001 - when it was crafting this law, desired that KSB must be consulted - and it is mandatory - by the Minister for Agriculture whenever he felt like exercising his power to make regulations relating to production, manufacture, importation and marketing of sugar. It is not July 27, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2443 optional. It is a mandatory requirement! Should the Minister wish - and that is why he is given the permissive "may" - to make regulations, he is ... view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: . Thereafter, strict surveillance and monitoring by the KSB be done at the Port of Mombasa and other designated ports of entry to guard against paper clearance. Only the quantities allocated were to arrive at a particular time and should be cleared. During the Board's 60th meeting of 13th January, 2006, the Board further resolved that the importation of the sugar quota be spread throughout the year; from March, 2006, to February, 2007. It was also resolved that only sugar importers or exporters whose registration has been issued as at 11th January, 2006, would be considered for allocations. Further, the ... view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Michuki, obviously, has not understood what I am doing. However, I am sure by the time I am through, he will have fully understood what I am doing. view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you know, the rules of this House stipulate that I can go on talking until next week. These are Committee reports. I am just about to conclude. However, just before I do that, it is important that I point out this issue; that Section 33 - and anybody is at liberty to tell us about their own understanding of it--- Therefore, rather than interrupt me by saying that I have turned myself into a court of law, it is important that everyone gives it his own reflection and meaning. In consultation with the Board, ... view
