• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have heard you deferring Questions because of AGOA. In every Ministry, there is a Minister and an Assistant Minister. Also, Parliament takes precedence over everything else. Are we now saying that Parliament will be paralyzed because of AGOA? Can you, please, give us directions? view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Vote. I am glad that I am doing so after hearing the Report of the relevant Committee, which I support. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: How much? view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg your indulgence to first thank the Assistant Minister for clarifying that the meeting alluded to of Central Kenya leaders, where I was not present, was a normal meeting. We all meet our students from wherever region we come from. But could the Assistant Minister tell us what the Government is doing to deal with negative ethnicity in our institutions of higher learning, especially the universities? It affects both the students and the lecturers as has been exemplified in the Kenyatta University case. Secondly, what is the Government and, particularly, the Ministry doing to ensure ... view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last time, the Minister said that he was not aware. Is he confirming that the officer in question had actually been investigated for fraud and also for failing to pay his debts abroad, which are contrary to the Public Officers Ethics Act? If, indeed, the Minister is confirming that the documents are authentic, then he must give us cogent documentary evidence that, that officer was cleared? It cannot be a simple statement from the bar! view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to avoid the question? I asked him whether the documents that were tabled in the House, which he disparaged during the last time, were authentic. If they were, the audit clearly shows that the officer owed Kshs3 million, which he is alleged to have embezzled. Has he repaid the money to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Secondly, has he paid his debts in France? view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to fail to answer the question which is, clearly, whether those documents are authentic and, therefore, the officer owed the money? If the officer has paid the money, where is the written confirmation? view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) if he could update the House on the progress of the Ministry’s internal investigations into the Triton Oil Scandal as well as the measures he has taken to ensure that such an incident does not recur; (b) what action he has taken against employees who may have been complicit in the matter; and, (c) how much money the Kenya Pipeline Corporation and/or the Government lost in the scam. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister confirm that none of those cases has been instituted by the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Limited, that none of them is against Mr. Divani, and that no proceedings to attach the property of Mr. Devani and his co-directors have been instituted so far? view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that I have the list tabled, yes, in the criminal cases, Mr. Devani and Triton are cited, but I want the Assistant Minister to confirm that his co-directors in Triton are not part of this suite. view
