• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) It is not true that Samburu County has only one district code. The true position is that the districts constituting the county have independent codes as follows:- Samburu East – 7060; Samburu North – 7065; Samburu Central – 7075. (b) The two districts of Samburu East and Samburu North already have budget codes as indicated above. The stated information can be found on page IX of the Recurrent Estimates book 2011/2012. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I fully understand the frustration the hon. Member is going through. However, the question of allocation and the question of the code are two different issues. It is the Ministries which are responsible for giving allocations to their officers. In the Treasury, we only create these codes. If there are no allocations, we will check with the relevant Ministries to ensure that they give proper allocations to these particular districts. As I said, we do not do the allocations. It is the Ministries who do them themselves. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, all the districts which have been created have their codes, including the one of Thika. The problem which the hon.

I have promised to undertake to follow up with the particular Ministries because those codes do exist. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the budget process all the Ministries are given in advance the codes on which they are supposed to allocate money because that is the first thing that the Ministry of Finance does; giving codes to the Ministries. We will remind them if they have forgotten. That is our duty and we do it very well, promptly. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Question came up here on 16th November, 2011. Before I answered the Question, I sought direction from the Speaker as to whether the Question was properly before the House because it was subjudice. I tabled a Motion of a ruling by the court, but the Speaker ruled that the document was not valid because it was not properly signed by the court. I was, therefore, asked and directed by the Speaker to bring all the necessary documents to prove that this matter was actually sub judice before the Question could ... view

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter came before the House last week and it had been directed to the Ministry of Trade. The Ministry of Trade then said that they were not competent to answer this Question and that it should be redirected to another Ministry. It was then directed to us as the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance does not deal with maize. The issues of maize are squarely in the Ministry of Agriculture. This is because it is the Ministry of Agriculture which deals with production, storage and ... view
