• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Ruiru Municipality, and many other local authorities in the country, what has the Ministry done to ensure that they use incineration or any other civilized methods of treating waste? In Maua Town, for example, there is no plan or any intention by the Ministry to do anything about waste management or even water and sewerage. What comprehensive plans are there to take care of this menace? view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate the Minister for successfully moving the Vote and for the humility with which he has handled the closing remarks. He has seen the unanimity of the House. We want to see what we have passed on the ground. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have the Ministry of Finance budget in the Printed Estimates; from page 333 up to page 369. There is not a single item mentioning the bursary funds. Could the Assistant Minister state categorically that the NARC Government has withdrawn the Bursary Fund and left it to the Constituencies Development Fund? view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I beg to support the Vote for the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. This is because the content this year is different from that of last year. Last year, we had a problem of allocation of money and the Vote had to be deferred. However, it is good to note that the face of the Ministry of Roads and Public Works is 2134 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 18, 2006 different from that of last year.

The reason for saying this is because when we used to ask for equipment from the District Works Officer, for very strange reasons, the equipment was not available: There is a chain of contractors who wanted to be allocated jobs within the district and they had to get the jobs because they were friends of influence peddlers at the district. It was not possible to acquire or access that equipment. I can assure you that in my constituency we have not been able ... view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I said, translates to Kiswahili as: " Msitu ni ule ule, komba ndiyo wengine ." view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was referring to the issue of corruption in the Public Service in relation to the contract sum for the Vice-President's official residence, which has kept moving upwards from the initial figure of Kshs50 million when the project was conceptualised.

In conclusion, I want to talk about an issue that we were able to grapple with during Question Time; ... view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I wanted to say a few words about these taxation measures. We have this history of Income Tax whereby a lot of Kenyans were having difficulties filling the Income Tax declaration forms. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) asked tenants to provide the Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) of their landlords. I think this measure alone will reduce the amount of taxes that the Minister is going to collect as well as infringing on the privacy of the PINs of the landlords. As we all know, the PIN is not a public document. It is private and personal. So, ... view
