• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the contractual sums against the engineer’s estimate is not an evaluation report. In part “b” he gives an evaluation report as a preliminary evaluation, a detailed evaluation and a financial evaluation. Since we are all learned and Dr. Machage is not an engineer – and I will forgive him for that – I raised this issue with his brother, the Assistant Minister, hon. Lee Kinyanjui, who told me that he has not been given the evaluation report. So, unless the same Assistant Minister wants to conceal the dealings of his officers let him be honest to this ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it does not and what the Assistant Minister has given me is only how close the estimates of the contractors were to the engineer’s estimates. All of us in this House know that there is a technical score and financial score on those evaluations and many other scores, which add up to what is the detailed evaluation report, which the Assistant Minister does not seem to want to give. view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will go by your guidance, but will point out to you that in part “b” of the answer by the Assistant Minister, this is what he says. That is why I suspect that the Assistant Minister does not want to give the full information. In “b” he says: “I wish to clarify that the procedure for evaluation of road works tenders does not involve award of scores”. That is the Assistant Minister’s answer; “Does not involve award of scores.” The percentages as they near to the engineer’s estimates is not the award of scores that the ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You should save us from the contradictions by the Assistant Minister. This is because he does not seem to have his facts correct today and maybe in order. A few minutes ago, he said that the KDF forces were not deployed. He has now read to us a letter from his Provincial Commissioner saying that the KDF, the police and a contingent of cohorts were deployed to several parts of Garissa. But more importantly, the Assistant Minister has said that three officers of the KDF were gunned down and asked us, as ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to be guided. I only asked hon. Musila whether he is in order to contradict himself barely, five minutes into his statement telling the House, at one time, that the KDF forces were not deployed and the second minute reading to us a statement or letter from the Provincial Commissioner alluding to the fact that the KDF soldiers were deployed to Garissa. view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also with to support the Motion by the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare that Mrs. Gumato Ukur Yatani be appointed as a member of the National Gender and Equality Commission. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when hon. Ekwee Ethuro said that a woman from a pastoralist background suffers double tragedy, it seems some hon. Members of this House are amused and maybe it is because of the position the woman holds in a pastoral community of so much burden but maybe without much appreciation. However, even more importantly is that the people from the ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a feeling that the Minister is being too economical with the truth and information. Could he confirm that the report which was produced by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) on the strength of which their purported licence was given, had an advice that the licence could not be given and that it was corrupt NEMA officials who gave the licence contrary to the recommendations of the committee and the report that it purports the licence was given? view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to ask for a Ministerial Statement. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to lend my support to Mr. Kapondi’s request. More importantly, a few months back when things went out of hand in Tana River and specifically Tana Delta, we thought that the regular police, the administration police and the GSU were unable to deal with the problems in Tana Delta effectively. We as Members of Parliament from that region requested for the deployment of the military but the Executive arm of this Government turned our request down and said that they are in a position to deal with the situation without calling in the ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. He should give a Statement on the arrests and more specifically the procedures used and the processes that were undergone until arraignment in court of the following three Members of Parliament, Messrs. Yakub, Nanok and Ethuro. I want him to clarify in his Statement from the initial stages of how they contacted the Members of Parliament informing them or not of whether they needed to record statements and all the processes the three Members of Parliament each underwent ... view
