• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Shadow Attorney-General in order to claim that I December 7, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4311 almost insulted the judges of the East African Court of Appeal when the truth of the matter is that I said - which is a fact - that they have no jurisdiction over the Kenyan Parliament? That is a fact. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) To avail factual information to the public. (b) No, the matters are subject to investigations. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: I am not able to understand the question, and it obviously shows lack of seriousness in the Questioner. If you look at the Question and the supplementary question being asked, unless the House is allowing this forum to be used to make unwarranted and unsavoury remarks, I am not able to understand or answer the Questioner. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the entry on my score sheet is about 101 per cent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the purpose was achieved; to give factual information to the public. I wish to elaborate a little further, because I can see that the Questioner is serious. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is in the public domain that recently, even well known looters have been standing in public podiums talking about good governance and the speed at which we are prosecuting corruption cases, but not telling the public that they are the very people under investigations or that they are the ones who looted ... view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it became necessary to just give some factual information to the public without any conclusions. So, even the original Questioner is assuming that I was ascribing guilt or even lack of it when I gave out the list. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be wishing to lay the list I annexed to my Press statement on the Table, if allowed. But clearly, all I was stating is that, of the 18 Anglo Leasing projects, I listed them one by one according to their dates. I gave the project name, the date it was signed, the name ... view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not able to make sense out of the question. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, known looters are roaming around courtesy of bonds given by the courts. The cases are proceeding. They have not been left scot-free by Kenyans. Known looters are also regularly communicating with the investigators who are investigating them. To known looters, your days are numbered! view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that question would be better answered by the Attorney- General. But being a Member of the Government, I will give the information at hand. Through mutual legal assistance, the authorities in the United Kingdom (UK) have been working hand-in-hand with our Director of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). It is true that at the level of the two Attorney-Generals, a formal request may not have gone, but work is going on. Mr. Speakeer, Sir, however, I do want to admit here that there are some gaps which we need to pull up our socks on, so that ... view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will change the word to "suspects." It favours suspects, in that, whereas in matters of violent crimes like terrorism, they are able to freeze the assets immediately. But for economic terrorism, which is what the suspected looters are subjecting us to, they require us, first, to have criminal proceedings and all conviction in our country. They are making it very difficult for us. These are matters we have raised internationally. We are pulling up our socks, so that we may be able to retrieve what is lost on behalf of December 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4123 ... view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that some money was traced and there are proceedings going on in foreign jurisdictions. However, I cannot enumerate them for confidentiality of investigations. view
