• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (c) what percentage of Kenya's working population is within the pension bracket and what plans have been put in place to include the non-working class. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for the quick and speedy response in answering this Question. However, I would like him to be a little more specific. When he says that the Government is taking necessary measures, which measures are these, particularly taking into account the fact that we know a number of organisations that have folded up recently? For example, within the stock market, there are a number of stock brokers who have folded up. We know that the workers who used to work within those organisations still have not been paid and do ... view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister indicated that only 15 per cent of the working population is covered under the pension bracket. He also did indicate that he has a National Pensions Policy. How soon will this National Pensions Policy be in place? Does it include the informal sector which forms more than 50 per cent of the working population? view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Nairobi City Council carries out the beautification process, could they also ensure that they consult with their engineers because many of the trees seem to block junctions and people are not able to see on-coming traffic? There is one example at the ABC Roundabout on Waiyaki Way. When you are approaching the roundabout, you cannot see the on-coming traffic. Could they also have a look at that? view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that as at October, 2010, commercial banks were lending an average weighted rate of interest of 13.85 which is over 12 per cent. The average weighted rate of interest for all saving products over the same period was 3.58 per cent and 1.58 per cent higher than the 2 per cent. I am aware that the lower interest rates on savings and the higher interest rates on lending are likely to discourage savings and borrowings respectively. However, I ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, I was only able to get this copy electronically. Only one copy was printed. I will, however, make sure that I avail a copy as quickly as possible to the hon. Member. As you can see, the answer is pretty lengthy. I would probably want to know from the hon. Member whether he will be willing to wait so that I give him a copy of the answer afterwards. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true, and we have consulted even with the hon. Member, but there were certain issues. In particular, funds should have been allocated within the last financial year, so that this construction could be done. Unfortunately, when the feasibility study was completed the omitted works were then included. Now, we do have a total estimate of how much the project will cost. We have put it within our plans and hope that we will get the necessary budgetary allocation. Let me assure the hon. Member that we are taking this issue very seriously. We will try ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not have on hand the number of such projects that have stalled because the councils did not have sufficient revenues. I think that would be a substantive Question which would need to be answered substantively. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are satisfied that so far, Kshs13 million has actually been spent on that particular project. view
