• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was trying to say that since we have a Ministry of Planning and National Development and we have really appreciated that our Ministers have a lot on their hands, we would require that whatever has been brought about through this Ministry is implemented without necessarily requiring us Members of Parliament visiting Ministers in their offices. They are extremely busy and if we go there and start explaining what we want, then they will really be overburdened. I am just pleading that they appreciate us. We want to give them time to work. view
• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is far from it. I have not even said anything like that or even remotely suggested anything that hon. Nyachae seems to have heard me say. Therefore, I am in order to say that we want Ministers to work. We do not want to go and bother them with pleas about requests for a few kilometres of tarmac roads, prisons, hospitals and such like things. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Mr. Mungatana to purport to criticise another hon. Member who is not in the House, on matters that are not before this House at this point without bringing a substantive Motion? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, year in, year out, when these issues about the conditions or requirements that importers of second-hand goods, and particularly motor vehicles, are being considered, they are usually contained in the Finance Bill. In the Finance Bill for the financial year ending 30th June, 2006, there is no such requirement that was ever placed for importers to meet before importing. Could the Assistant Minister implore the KRA to use more commercial methods of informing Kenyans well in advance, indeed a year, that certain requirements will be placed on them? This will ensure that people do not find ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It was alleged that the application to step aside had been lost on 12th June, 2006. It is important that the Minister responds to that issue. But be that as it may, the principle of inviolability of the diplomatic immunity of the Kenyan mission in Netherlands is well known, even to the tribunal that purported to give the initial orders. Why was the Government of Kenya not represented at the initial hearing? Was it because of laxity on the part of the Attorney-General's office? view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: I can see he is smiling as usual. view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to say one or two things about the current Motion. Right from the outset, I wish to state that I support this Motion. I have had occasion, during my sessions in the Public Investments Committee (PIC), to interrogate the top management of Kenya Post Office Savings Bank. As hon. Oloo-Aringo, whom I thank for bringing this Motion, has pointed out in his write-up, it is quite clear that the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank has an extremely wide network. The fears that I have heard the Assistant Minister ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill. It has come at the right time. The reasons as advanced in the memorandum of objectives are quite clear. I wish to pick one or two issues on this Bill. I am quite happy that for the first time in this country, as would be seen in the definition section, that open space within our cities and municipalities will now be protected from the mania that we have witnessed in the recent past of land grabbing and be declared part of our national heritage. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I rise to support this Bill. I agree with the objectives contained in it. In my view, it introduces three very important clauses apart from the addition of the word or title "administrator" to "managers and custodians." Clause 2 of the Bill defines "trust corporation" as a company incorporated under the Companies Act, having a subscribed capital of not less than Kshs10 million and which is for the June 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1143 time being empowered (by/or) under any written law, its charter, memorandum of association, deed of settlement ... view
• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Clause 6 of the Bill seeks to introduce a new Section 25 (b) on the qualification for registration as a scheme administrator. That is, one will not qualify unless that person applying in "a", is a limited liability company and "b", has such minimum paid-up share capital as may from time to time be prescribed. I would like to propose to the Minister that just like he has done with the trust corporation, he should consider introducing some minimum. I do appreciate that it is possible for the Minister for Finance as he does regularly during Budget speeches, to keep ... view
