• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to add my voice in support of this Motion. In so doing, I congratulate my friend, hon. Keynan, for taking it upon himself to ensure this Motion is brought to the House. For the last six months, we have seen a steep decline of the Kenya Shilling. When the value of the Kenya Shilling declines, there are very many effects. One of them is the huge bill that our Kenyan importers will have to foot bearing in mind that Kenya is a net importer. Another effect is that Kenyans who pay ... view

• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. On Clause 46A, I would wish the Mover to explain a little bit the import of this Clause 46A which says: “All criminal and civil proceedings under this Act may, without prejudice to any other power in that behalf, be instituted by the Authority, and where the proceedings are instituted or brought in a court, an officer of the Authority authorized by the Board in that behalf may prosecute or conduct the proceedings.” So, is that consistent with all the other laws of the land and everything else? Please, explain? view

• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is to congratulate hon. Lekuton for bringing this overdue Bill to ensure that the financial assets that are unclaimed are actually released to their rightful owners. I am so happy because I remember that I actually started this process myself, in the year 2008, and in particular, now that the Act will be there, it places the onus on the custodians or the banks or insurance companies. Time will be gone when pensioners’ money would lie idle at the National Social Security Fund, and when somebody would know that the money does not belong ... view

• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Regional Development Authorities:- (a) whether he could provide a list of the projects funded using the Kshs2.3 billion allocated for projects under the Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority (ENNDA) in the 2010/2011 Financial Year, the districts where the projects are located as well as the cost of each project; and, (b) what the status (in terms of completion) of each of the projects is. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I have seen the list of the projects undertaken by the Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority. I reckon that in the last financial year, this was the highly funded regional authorities out of the six. Out of the Kshs2.3 billion allocated, how much was disbursed by the Treasury and how much has been used so far in the projects that he has listed? view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at a glance, if you look at the projects that the Assistant Minister has laid down in Zone A, that is Meru, Nyandarua and Nyeri, it shows a very skewed arrangement of projects and allocations and that the money has not been spent. So, is the money enough? Will it be available and, if so, we have seen that he has mixed up the project in that particular zone. The Assistant Minister has even visited the area. But the people on the ground still say that they are not aware of where those projects are. Could ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The establishment of this Fund was to spur development of micro-enterprises. The Assistant Minister has already said that they are passing this money to the banks to lend it out at the rate of 6 per cent. The Assistant Minister is aware that the base rate, as of today, is 16.5 per cent. So, banks cannot lend at a rate lower than that. The Assistant Minister is defeating the very efforts that they were supposed to support because they are now stifling the micro-enterprises. He must be clear on what the ... view
