• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing the following Question by Private Notice. (a) What has led to the crisis at the Kenya Planters Co-operative Union (KPCU) which has been placed under receivership by the Kenya Commercial Bank? (b) What is the Government doing to ensure that the KPCU is not liquidated and that the interest of coffee farmers is taken care of? view

Gross mismanagement includes cases where the KPCU has given loans to its directors and managers. In his answer, he has not said what action he will take against those directors or managers who already owe KPCU loans. The amount that KPCU has not paid is not only for the KCB.

What is the Minister doing to ensure that the farmers are properly protected under these institutions that have dual registration? view

• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. This issue was brought before the Committee and we deliberated on it at length. We were actually convinced that Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) needs a fund. We know for sure that there is a bottleneck that we are trying to address here. That is because Members of Parliament have travelled all over the world and seen other airports. The development of airports is a continuous process. We thought that to ensure that bid is actually done when it is necessary, those funds ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporarily Deputy Chairman, Sir, we also know that even from prudent financial management, if a fund is established and then funds are received there, it is even easier now to monitor how they are received and used so that, even for audit purposes, this issue is handled very adequately. Already, we have the Public Investments Committee (PIC) that can handle that issue. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are all in the Parliamentary Committees and on issues that concern different committees, there is always a reference issue that can be done. I remember the Chairman of the Committee on the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) came to the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and we deliberated on these issues and we were able to get a common position.
