On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to tell us that what was exported was fish? We know very well that in order to export fish, you need documentation and certificates. Therefore, a wrong process was followed. There was a clearing agent who handled this cargo. Could he tell us the names of directors of this company because this information is available?

On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Energy regarding the crisis in the oil industry. On Wednesday, 27th April, 2011, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, while issuing a Statement during Prime Ministerâs Time, confirmed in this House that the Government had reduced the profit margin on regulated oil products such as kerosene, diesel and petrol from Kshs6 per litre to Kshs4 per litre. Consequently, the prices of these products were to go down by Kshs2 per litre. On Thursday, 5th May, 2011, the Minister for Energy further

assured this House that the prices of these oil products would go down. However, some of the oil marketers have indicated that fuel prices will go up by a further Kshs6 per litre. Mr. Speaker, Sir, noting that the fuel prices have gone up by Kshs9 per litre over the last one month, and arising from the above intervention by the Government, could the Minister clarify the following in his Statement:- (a) whether the reduction on tax was effected and whether the fuel prices will, indeed, go down, contrary to reports that fuel prices will go up by a further ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to support this very important Motion.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first point I want to state is that Commissioners have to be executive. The Commissioners who will be appointed must be accountable to what is happening in all the processes. Section 7(2) says that the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson shall be non-executive and shall serve on fulltime basis. What is the purpose of telling somebody to come to the office everyday and you make him non-executive? How will he work? If he is the chairman or vice-chairman what will he be going to do in the office on fulltime basis? So, in that clause, ...

results and here I am. However, nothing happened to this man who actually rigged the elections in South Mugirango in day time. The defunct Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) was found to be guilty as a corporate body. But the man who caused mess in South Mugirango went scot-free. He is now a free man in this country. The presiding officers who presided over the elections and who changed the figures using different Forms 16A were not even called as witnesses. They also went scot-free. So, unless we come up with very strict laws to protect the process of election ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Motion. I also thank the Committee for doing a good job so that we can have a Budget which is more transparent and one that will make the Ministries more accountable. I will, first of all, go to Section 241 of the Constitution which hon. Members have referred to. The Constitution clearly identifies the Kenya Army, the Kenya Air Force and the Kenya Navy as constitutional offices. If they are constitutional offices, it is important that they be allocated funds separately. They should explain how they ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to seek a clarification from the Prime Minister. He has talked about grains like wheat and maize. He has said that they are going to be zero-rated. At the moment, there is no maize or wheat. So, that policy may not work. What I expected the Prime Minister to come up with is for the farmers who have maize to get a good price. What can he do for the farmers to plant for next year with a good price on inputs so that Kenya, as a nation would be ...
