• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we are talking about two different things. I want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for having responded to the Motion that was resolved in this House. However, I am talking about the World Bank funded projects, namely, the Western Kenya Flood and Community Driven Development, Kenya Education Sector Programme and also the Kenya Arid and Semi- Arid Development Programme. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. One and a half months ago I rose here to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. I wanted him to detail who was responsible for the errors of commission or omission on the three instances that I cited. One of them was during the printing of the new Constitution. This Ministerial Statement has been pending to date. Today we have seen another error. The question I want to ask here is: Could it have been a deliberate effort to delay giving ... view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been media reports that the Office of the President is trying to deploy officers that they are calling County Commissioners. We know why we fought for devolution. I want the Minister to clarify what will be the function of the County Commissioners and how will they co-exist with the Governors who are democratically elected, which is akin to the Queen of England sending another Governor here to come and sit next to our President? view
• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance in relation to the World Bank funded projects. In this statement, I would like the Minister to clarify the findings and recommendations of the Internal Audit Department on the following World Bank funded projects. One, the Western Kenya Flood and Community- Driven Development. Two, the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme, popularly known as “Free Primary Education (FPE)”, and three, the Arid Land Resource Management Project Phase II. I would like the Minister to further ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion; I want to start by saying that we have had a very trying time with our Budget this time round. The Budget-making process has been guided by the Speaker’s ruling, which was against a background that of a transitional period. We had to navigate between the Standing Orders and the Constitution. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I want to point out that the Motion, as it stands today--- We need to quickly move and change the way we are doing things. I want to concur with hon. Mbadi, who said that this Motion was a little faulty. At this stage, we are in the Committee of Supply; we should be debating the Motion to grant funds to various Votes and not to withdraw them from the Consolidated Fund. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I think it is important that we move forward very fast, so that we can harmonize, even if not by way of correcting our Standing Orders, but by way of agreeing on the practices, so that we move forward together into the next financial year. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I remember this House indicted the Executive, particularly the Minister for Finance. This House will face the same indictment in the public court; we want to agree that the name of the game from now hence should be negotiations, so that we move forward together, the Executive and the Legislature. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on this Vote of the Ministry of Medical Services, I want to say that there have been a lot of complaints. A lot of suppliers in my constituency have petitioned me that the Ministry is not paying them; I know this is a common problem across the country. Could the Minister consider availing money to the suppliers? I know there are other creditors to the Government whose debts have been secured even though they supplied air or did nothing. These are suppliers who have fed our sick. Could the Minister consider availing funds, so that these ... view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Last but not least, I think from now henceforth, we must never have both the Budget report and the Committee of Supply. We must decide to move on with one. view
