• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am waiting to see if I will be given the specifics. But I know that it must be a one-off expenditure. It is not a recurrent Item on the development budget. But as soon as I get the details, I can get back to that. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I will as well dispose of the other matter. As part of the expansion of our trade offices around the world, we need to substantially purchase equipment, particularly furniture for the offices. That is why it is a one-off Item. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if we lived in a society where trade-driven growth was taken seriously, we would also not be looking at this level of estimates. But the truth is: As part of popular demand, including from hon. Members, we are trying to revamp public institutions for business training. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, or primary institution is the Business Training Institute, which requires specialised equipment for training purposes. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Partly, this includes computers. But there are other materials for training. You are welcome to visit the institution at the rise of the House. The gracious lady who runs it is seated closest to you on the Civil Service Bench. You can go and see how it operates. It is here in Highridge. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there are a number of different Government agencies that support small enterprises. One of them is the Special Programme on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises which is a growing facility, substantially underwritten by the World Bank grant of US$22 million. Part of what we see is a shift of resources away from that line Item into supporting that as institutionalised in the grant agreement with the World Bank. Secondly, the support on small enterprises has only partly been done through the Kenya Industrial Estates (KIE). While we look to go that route, particularly for value-adding ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while I will bring the detailed account of this, I hasten to add again, that if you look at the details, this is a programme that started slow last year and it is going to come to full-swing this year. It is the mainstream World Bank programme. So, again, it is not subject to the automatic equation of regional parity as one would expect. However, I will, definitely, seek to bring that July 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2421 information to the House. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there are two different issues here. The first amount we talked about earlier was a European Union (EU) grant. Percentage of it, is A-in-A. This is a World Bank grant. The other component is out of public revenue. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, is he asking me whether I had money last year or why I do not have it now? view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the support to Non-Financial Public Enterprises has been consolidated under the other programmes, including the one partially funded by the World Bank. That is why it disappeared from the line items of the Kenya Industrial Estates (KIE). view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we have different areas which have different foreign donors. For example, in industrial training, the development of an industrial masterplan is substantially funded by the Japanese Government. The programme on export promotion, particularly into America, is substantially funded by the US Government. They are different components. So, when you look at industrial training, that component is not financed by the same donor that finances export promotion work. 2422 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 That is why you cannot force it into the other, but that is where the appropriation is. view
