• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: May I say something? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, a typographical error once explained even when an hon. Member is moving amendments can be rectified. There is nothing in the Standing Orders to say that if there is a typographical error in the committee report, then the report has to be corrected before a Motion is moved. When the committee will be moving that report before the House then that typographical error can be corrected. Once the reference is to the foreign travel, the Estimates speak for themselves. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just saying that the Chairman of the committee has explained himself well. That there is an item of foreign travel for Kshs16 million. The minutes of the committee back him that that, is indeed, they are talking about. Unless if the Attorney-General, on his part, is able to show a Standing Order that favours his contention, then this Motion should be allowed. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the Motion by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I did indicate that I normally tell the Attorney-General; my friend, that he lives abroad, but works here. So, this reduction would be good. All those foreign travels add up to one thing, that he is unable to be present to closely supervise and rein in the corruption in his office which leads to fixing of cases and negligence which causes the Government to lose money. Finally, the many contractual agreements between the Government and other entities which are ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I beg to strongly support. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with that and I hope that when the Question is being put, the exact amount will be read to avoid confusion. However, I support. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as we support this Vote, I urge the Executive to have respect for the laws of this country and Parliament which passes those laws. It is very disheartening to see administrative boundaries being re-done and districts being issued like cakes at a time when this body is supposed to advise on the optimal administrative and constituency boundaries. I urge them to be fiercely independent. They should disregard completely anything the Executive has done as a pointer to what they should do. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing:- (a) why the Kirinyaga Co-operative Union Bank section closed its doors to customers in February, 2009, making it impossible for farmers to access their funds; and, (b) what he is doing to ensure that the affected farmers/customers access their savings. view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will notice that this union bank closed its doors in February which is six months ago. Could the Assistant Minister tell the House whether the actions she is taking were taken when this Question was asked and also why the Government has not thought of bailing out the bank similar to how they bailed out Uchumi and the National Bank? We are talking of small coffee farmers whose children are now out of school since February. Could she also tell us how much money is owed to the small-scale banks? view
