• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me time to support the appointment of Mr. Juma as the Director General of PPOA. One thing I want to make clear here is that the Director-General of the Public Procurement Oversight Authority plays a major role in terms of safeguarding public assets and educating Government officers and parastatals on how procurement procedures should be followed. He will help the Government, if he takes his job seriously as prescribed by the Act, to save a lot of money for this nation. He is expected to take time to train officers in ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me time to support this Report. But it makes me feel sad that this House has to sit and start discussing a Report before a Minister or a Permanent Secretary resigns. I find it that there is no political goodwill to fight corruption in this country. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to say that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote a letter – and it is in the Report – to the Director of Procurement, asking for exemption to do single-sourcing. The Public Procurement office replied to that letter. It reads: “You are also reminded to adhere to the Procurement and Disposal Act and its regulations in this procurement.” view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: It was very specific that the process they were using to acquire the property in Tokyo was irregular. They were asked and requested to follow the Public Procurement Act, which I am sure, the entire Cabinet is aware it should be followed, when public money is used to procure any goods. In this case, the Act was ignored in its entirety. When you look at the disposal of Government property in Nigeria, the Public Procurement Act was never used, yet they have it and know it. That is impunity of the highest order. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you go to Belgium, the Act was very clear. They knew of it, but ignored it. The worst one is the money which was transferred from the Ministry, and the evidence was given by the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. The Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya said that the money was credited to the Development Account of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It means, in this case, that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs allocated itself development funds without the approval of Parliament and support from the Minister for Finance. The record is ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the worst situation here is that after the Ministry got a report that they cannot procure the plot and Embassy without a report. They went ahead with the purchase of a chancery and an Ambassador’s residence in Tokyo. They wrote to the Ambassador in Tokyo giving details and approved the purchase without regard of the procedures and clear guidelines. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the worst one was the payment. The payment was made in the form of cash. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Perhaps a clarification might be made as to which Nyamweya he is referring to. I trust he is not alluding to me. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As per the Procurement and Disposal Act, it is mandatory that all Government Ministries and parastatals use this law. I would like to ask the Minister whether the sale of the property in Lagos complied with this Act. view
• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have only one more useful thing I may add to the contribution and, particularly, on the question of vetting. I do sit in that Committee. We saw those two Kenyans. We believe and commend them to Kenyans to serve in the Judicial Service Commission. But before we embark on vetting others, I think it is imperative that we must first now design a Vetting Act, so that we do have a standard for every appointment we are going to make. That we know what it is that we are looking for in that person. ... view
