• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the House to allow me to answer this Question on Thursday, next week because I received the Question yesterday in the evening.

• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appeal once more that I be allowed to answer this Question on Tuesday, next week. This is because it involves going to the bank to find out what really happened. We need to get the person who took the money. This is because we have cases of money going to the wrong account and someone taking it. This Question involves quite a bit. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Chair asked hon. Karua to apologize to the House and she said she cannot apologise. Is she disobeying the Chair? Could the Chair give us a direction on this? view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support the Report. This pair of brothers, the so called Artur brothers, to me, they were terrorists. It is unfortunate that the Government at that time allowed terrorists to operate from within the Government. It is unfortunate that the Government gave them Kenyan identity cards and it is unfortunate that the Government gave this pair of terrorist positions in Government. At that time, it was alleged that these people were hit men who were supposed to execute some persons in this country. But it is good that Kenyans found out and ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am contributing as a Member for Muhoroni. I am not doing the response for the Government. I am speaking in my capacity as a Member of Parliament for Muhoroni Constituency. I was concluding by saying that let the Minister, Mr. Michuki, step aside for further investigations and Ms. Karua who was the then Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs be investigated. Thank you and I support the Report. view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that an appeal filed by the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) against a judgment of the High Court in Nakuru in 2006, that teachers who retired between 1997 and 2007 be paid their unpaid pension and retirement benefits, was dismissed on 12th November, 2010 by the Court of Appeal in Nakuru. (b) An urgent meeting was held on 30th November, 2010 between the TSC and the Treasury’s Department of Pensions. It was resolved that the 1997 schedule be implemented by adjusting the pension benefits based on the salaries of ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the amount involved is quite substantial. The retired teachers’ salary arrears from 1997 to 2007 alone amounts to Kshs8,215,217,388. The pension payout will be the total lumpsum paid, that is, Kshs13,204,822,875. The monthly pension to those retired teachers will total Kshs20,689,850,540. It is quite a substantial amount of money. My Ministry will put a request to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to include this in the Supplementary Estimates next year, but if it is not possible, then we shall insist that in the next Financial Year, this must be settled and done away with. view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that the Director of Pensions is working out the details which he will then forward to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, who will then effect the payment. From my Ministry, we can only put pressure for them to do it as fast as possible. I promise here that we are going to do our best to ensure that, that payment is done as soon as possible. view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is an interesting request. The courts did not give us that order of paying with interest. view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if that is what the court said, then the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will go by the court ruling. view
