• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to appreciate that this is a very good Bill. This Bill is about us as a country stopping this town called Nairobi from becoming a dry cleaning industry for dirty money. You will realize that in the last one year or so, property prices against all expectations are doubling every year. You will even realize that very soon, we will be foreigners in our own land. We are actually almost being chased out of town. I would like us, as a country, to go beyond what shall be written in this Anti-Money Laundering Bill ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he could table the list showing the allocation of funds from the Fuel Levy Fund for the years 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 in accordance with the provisions of the Kenya Roads Board Act which requires equitable distribution of 24 per cent of such funds to all districts; and (b) whether he could explain the parameters used in arriving at the distribution. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not received any of the documents the Assistant Minister has laid on the Table and yet, they are very important because they will enable the House or me to ask the Assistant Minister supplementary questions. I request the Chair to defer this Question until this afternoon so that we can have time to look at the list showing the allocation of funds that the Assistant Minister has laid on the Table. This will enable us ask supplementary questions. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am even ready if the Chair can allow this Question to be the last one to be asked this morning. view

• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the fact that this country can only afford 24 Ministers. In fact, I thought that Mr. Ethuro should have come with a number as small as 12, so that we can have Ministers who are busy and have substantive roles to perform, unlike the current scenario where we have Ministers who run small departments and sections of Ministries. A good example is that of the former Ministry of Health which Kenyans still know. However, they have been ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still want to continue with my contribution. It is true that whenever we, as a country, do elections, we have always elected a President. I do not think this Bill is telling us how to create the Office of the President. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I was contributing, I mentioned that a high number of Ministers implies that you must have a similar number of Permanent Secretaries. At this special time where we have the National Accord, we must have an equal number of other officers. We have even seen others going an extra set and appointing officers referred to as Chiefs of Staff. You can see what the current scenario entails to this country. I am very sure that if we pass this Bill and have 24 Ministries, this country will save every financial year, in my view, not ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
