• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the levy is applied everywhere in the country. As we have said, most of those shopping centres are supposed to be taken care of by the French Programme. We cannot alter that. The contract is already signed with the French. Other areas are benefiting out of that money. Those are the areas that have not benefited from the French Programme. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the school paid the Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC) Kshs800,000 on 24th February, 2006. Information availed to me by the KPLC indicates that payments were made in two instalments of Kshs689,655.20 and Kshs110,344.80 on 26th September and 2nd October, 2006, respectively. (b) The quotation of the Kshs1,208,000 to the school was an estimate and valued for 90 days effective on 21st February, 2006. At the expiry of this period prices are adjusted to accommodate fluctuation of exchange rates, inflation and other costs. A firm estimate ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that a receipt was provided to prove that they paid in good time. The only alternative for us is to take up that project and include it in the Rural Electrification Programme. That way, it will be considered for financing in this financial year. In any case, when the Rural Electrification Programme takes over that project, then we shall have to refund the money back to the CDF Committee. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a flat rate of Kshs126,000. That is uniform across the country. If there are quotations that are going beyond that, then, I am not aware. If I am informed, we shall take the appropriate action. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have started doing that. But it is an affirmative action starting from arid and semi-arid areas. As we continue receiving funds, and with the continuity of this Government next year, we shall go ahead and take action in other areas. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that I have seen the receipt. They paid in good in time. Therefore, the only alternative left now, because of the variation from Kshs1.2 million to Kshs2.2 million, is to take over the project and refund him the CDF money. Then, the Rural Electrification Programme will take it over. On the other issue of somebody sabotaging programmes in Western Kenya, especially Kisumu, if there is anything of that sort going on, we will take action. I would like to have more information from the Member of Parliament. view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are allocating funds. In the next two to three weeks, I can tell him exactly when we shall take action. view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have looked at the answer that was given to me this afternoon, and considering carefully the concerns of the hon. Member, it is only fair that I seek the indulgence of the House to give me some time, so that I can come with a well investigated answer on Tuesday, next week. view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with your decision that where issues of the documents are concerned, I should be in a better position to tell the House. Therefore, now that I have said, and I repeat it once again, that we do not know where the documents are, the only last route that I have is to institute investigations. Therefore, we shall call upon the relevant arms of the Government, either Criminal Investigations Department or Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission to pursue that matter, so that we know where the documents are. Otherwise, on the issue of the former Minister being ... view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: There is nothing to apologise about. I am just withdrawing! view
