• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, gorogoro is the two kilogrammes tin that we use to measure maize before we can go to the posho mill. I do not know any other unit of measuring maize flour other than that used where I come from. So, that costs Kshs90. A kilo of sugar is Kshs120. Cooking fat, that is if you are privileged to get one kilogramme which we do not get; we always measure something in portions at Kshs120. Bread is Kshs45. Milk is Kshs40. When I put together the cost of these items that the ordinary and reasonable woman ... view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This is one Bill which I think we would have discussed with the Upper House instead of with Members who are excited about procedural issues that we are discussing.

However, looking at Article 206(2), it states that money may be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund only (a) in accordance with an appropriation by an Act of Parliament; or (b) in accordance with Article 222 which is Vote on Account or 223 which is Supplementary; and ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: That may be so and I respect it. The only issue I am saying is this: For an amount of money of this magnitude so that you can see the divergence of opinions that have been raised on how to manage and structure the funds, it is useful that there is an Act of Parliament which is a one-off Act of Parliament.

If it was brought, hon. Members would ... view
