• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion of the Finance, Trade and Planning Committee on the approval of Francis Wang’ombe Kariuki for appointment as Director-General of the Competition Authority of Kenya. We did the vetting of Mr. Kariuki and the appointing panel in the Board went through the due process.

• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support this report with an amendment. When this report was brought to the House and was returned, the issue was that the names that had been forwarded had not followed the merit rating because one, Dr. Lydia Nzomo, who was rated first was omitted with the reason that there was an anti-corruption investigations on her. When the Chair was moving this Motion, he said that, and I quote:- “The report they got, so far, talked about anti-corruption, but they did not have the opportunity of ... view

• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with due respect to my Chairman, yes, we met as a Committee. We requested him to come and meet you and then come back to us, so that we could discuss the Report because many issues had emerged. If I may mention one of them is that it has actually taken us almost two years to come up with this Report. There were so many issues that were coming up, including going to court and then the CMA, who were the regulator of that industry, even taking some disciplinary action on somebody. Now here we are, trying ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to second the proposal by Mr. Midiwo. It is not our practice to come here and oppose our own report on the Floor of the House, but it is an issue we really wanted to discuss in-house and then agree before we come to the Floor of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the report that we relied on heavily, which my chairman alluded to earlier, was a forensic report and recommendations which we did. After we did that, other things happened and rendered the report of the forensic audit irrelevant. One of the them, which ... view
