• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, following that, today I, indeed, wish to table the following documents to prove that the hon. Member had an interest in this matter. The first is the letter written by the Member of Parliament to the Secretary General of Kenya Red Cross, dated 4th, 2011. I want to read just paragraph two. It reads: “Take note that we also appreciate your kind consideration and the speed at which the project was commissioned.” view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, he continued to say that he does note that the Wajir District Red Cross coordinator got involved in petty politics. This was from the Member of Parliament himself writing to the Secretary General of Kenya Red Cross. I wish to table it. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the second letter which I wish to table – and you allow me very quickly to note paragraph 3, just to show that, indeed, the Member has interest – is from Kenya Red Cross and talks of the genesis of the unsubstantiated attack against the Kenya Red Cross. Paragraph 3, towards the end, says: “Kenya Red Cross immediately appointed a contractor to rehabilitate Meri and Abakore boreholes on 5th April, 2011.” view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Sirat wrote back to Kenya Red Cross to thank the organization. But the letter continues to say: “However, it was brought to our attention that the generator sets for the same borehole that Kenya Red Cross financed and had paid for, were proposed, budgeted for and allegedly paid under the Constituencies Development Fund. We were advised that the CDF had procured generator sets for the two boreholes at Abakore and Meri, despite the fact that the contractor had been paid by Kenya Red Cross.” view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to table this letter to show that, indeed, the Member of Parliament had an interest. There was a conflict between hon. Sirat and the Red Cross. The reason why that Question was brought here was to settle scores in this Parliament on the issue of double funding of projects. They were funded by CDF and the Red Cross at the same time. I wish to table the letter. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think in keeping with the Standing Orders, I have fulfilled my obligation to show that, indeed, the Member of Parliament had an interest. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to clarify what really transpired yesterday. The hon. Member was punished for imputing improper motive on other hon. Members. But on the issue of tabling these letters, I was challenged by the Speaker to table them today and that is what I have done. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Questioner, the hon. Member for Wajir South, declare his interest in this Question because it is in the public domain that the Kenya Red Cross Society has already donated boreholes which are now in contention because the CDF claims to have drilled the same boreholes? Could he declare his interest in this matter, especially why he is attacking the Kenya Red Cross Society? view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to also agree with my colleague and, therefore, ask for this Question to be deferred so that I can bring substantial evidence in this House to prove that the hon. Questioner has, indeed, interest in this matter. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really do not need anybody to defend me! The Standing Orders are very clear; that if I make such an allegation, I have a day to provide evidence. Following that Standing Order, I would want to be given a day to bring evidence in this House; that this hon. Member has an interest in this matter. view
