• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: That is why the whole work of that panel was suspect. Much as I am going to support these names--- I am not opposing them because at the end of the day, they are all qualified Kenyans. We have looked at their qualifications. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said, clearly, that if you interpret the word “suspect”, I have not cast any aspersions on them. But what I am saying is that because of the questions I have raised, unless somebody wants to challenge me, I have reservations. Can I use the word “reservation”? I have reservations! view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I have a lot of respect for the Chair of this Commission. Equally, I respect the qualifications of the people who have already been appointed. To me, they are all Kenyans. Even more to it is the question that we are always arguing here about, regional balance. The question of regional balance should not arise here, because even those of us in those regions are discriminated against; we feel discriminated against one way or the other. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are going also to be calling for\ interrogation of other Commissions to ... view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of the frequent delays in CDF projects in Kisumu Town East, due to delays in preparation of bills of quantities and other relevant documents by officers in my Ministry. However, due to poor planning by CDF officials, the request for provision of documents and bills of quantities is forwarded without giving adequate time before project implementation. It should be noted that relevant drawings, that is, architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical, will first be produced before preparation of bills of quantities. The design team may also need to visit ... view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is also exactly what I wanted to alert you. For example, when I received this answer from my officers, I told them that this was not a Ministerial Statement and the answer should be precise. In fact, you can see that I had cancelled the first paragraph. They would have just stated that they are not aware. However, I beg to reply to the other questions raised. It is good that we be honest with each other. If this bridge was meant to be motorable (to be used by vehicles), then the CDF itself could not ... view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that there are charges that are levied because we are supposed to provide that service. One problem we have been facing is that Members of Parliament advise their committees not to go for the drawings from the Ministry. Two, they are always complaining that whatever the Ministry gives out is very expensive; it is almost three or four times higher than the actual market price. Therefore, they do not seek our advice. Lastly, we have been very constrained in terms of our officers. However, I want to assure all Members that we have ... view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, our charter is very clear that is between one month, the shortest time possible and seven months, the longest time possible. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really do not have anything new to say. We support the Minister but the Government, once again, should rise to the occasion. It should know that this Parliament has a responsibility. We will pass these Bills and it is time that Parliament was given ample time in future. view
