• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know if you heard what the hon. Member has said. He said that those people who own some of the companies which are frustrating Kenyans are seated right here. Could he substantiate his claim because that imputes improper motive on the side of the Government? I do not own a company in the Industrial Area, and therefore, he should substantiate. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I second this Appropriation Bill, I would want to urge the Minister to be optimistic, because I can see that he may even raise more revenue than he expects, although he is not sure of that because of what happened a few days ago. This is in terms of some sections of the Finance Bill which were struck out. I want to appeal to him and the officers working under him to be vigilant on the issue of revenue collection. If we move in the current ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would want to point out to the Chair that the hon. Member has claimed that our Standing Orders prohibit this Committee from investigating and interrogating Ministers. On the contrary, Standing Order No.4(a) says that:- "Committees have the mandate to inquire into and report on all matters related to management activities, administration and operations of Ministries." Is he in order to mislead this House that there are Standing Orders that prohibit him and his Committee from interrogating the Government? view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make my views on this Bill. At the onset, I want to say that I support this Tobacco Control Bill. I also want to thank the Minister and her team for 3758 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 16, 2006 introducing this Bill which we have been waiting for a long time. At the same time, I also want to thank hon. Sungu who also had introduced a similar Bill. I also want to recognise the efforts the Ministry has put in to take hon. Sungu on board on this ... view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. This is a very critical Bill because it is going to give the insurance industry the independence it deserves from the Treasury and any other person who may want to influence its decisions. This Bill will also give the insurance companies the authority and powers to regulate the industry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we debate this important Bill, I have realised that a lot of hon. Members have developed interest in this Bill, maybe because some of them are in this business. I appeal to ... view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the hon. Member for declaring his interest in this Bill. However, is it in order for him to drag the Chair into this business, when it is supposed to be non- commercial? He says that the Chair has an interest in this industry. view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I second this important Bill, I would like to thank the Minister for Finance for finally bringing this Bill to this House. It is a Bill that has been worked on for many years and has been pending before this House for sometime. The introduction of this Bill gives our investors, business community and Kenyans a chance to participate in a more organised way, bearing in mind that the Bill gives us a chance to have more coordinated financial activities. The Bill seeks to November 8, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3517 protect Kenyans ... view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to engage the Chair in any discussions. Therefore, since I am an old disciplined hon. Member of this House, with your guidance, I withdraw. However, when he steps here, I will expect the hon. Member to tell this House why he--- view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware there is a shortage of water in Loitokitok Town and its environs, caused by an increase in water demand which has outstretched the water supply. The present water production and distribution is 900 cubic metres per day, against a water demand of 3,500 cubic metres per day.
