• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Mr. Chrisantus Peter Wesonga had no operational bank account and the tax clearance certificate from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) which are mandatory requirements. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has thus been unable to effectively process his retirement benefits. Accordingly, Mr. Wesonga has been directed to obtain the tax clearance certificate to enable the TSC to process the retirement dues and forward the same to the Treasury for payment. (b) The salaries for July, 2007 to April, 2008 were paid through his bank account with the Kenya Commercial Bank, Mumias Branch. However, ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as I know, retiring teachers are informed about the documents that they are supposed to provide to the TSC before their retirement benefits are processed. However, it is the retired teachers themselves that delay in doing this. I have a personal experience with retired teachers from my constituency. They do not provide this information to the TSC. I have to “push” some teachers here and there to provide these documents. Once they surrender these documents to the TSC, their retirement benefits are processed. I am sorry that Mr. Wesonga is sick but let him have ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) gets all these documents we are talking about, they are taken to Treasury. That is where most of the delays are. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let Mr. Wesonga bring the documents that we want because I will not go to his village and push him to come to the Kenya Revenue Authority to have the clearance certificate done for him. I would like to ask the hon. Member to bring those documents to me personally and I will have those things done for him. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not said that we paid him using a cheque. However, Mr. Wesonga was paid on 12th April, 2010 salary arrears starting from 1st July, 2007 to 30th April, 2008. He had a gross earning of Kshs402,690. After all the deductions were made out of this money, Kshs13,062 were sent to his account through the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), the modern technology. I have the IFMIS voucher here which was used to send the money to his account. The balance has also been paid today, which is for the month of June, July and ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to make a few comments in support of the Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya as a nation has suffered a lot from organized crimes since the colonial days. You remember during the colonial days, we had a lot of oathing taking place here and there. After Independence, we had a lot of that also, though the ones before Independence were associated with liberation. So, we can put it aside that it was part of our struggle. After Independence, we had continued oathing which came in, in the days of ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: terrorise travellers at night along Mombasa-Nairobi Road. Very few of them are apprehended. We did not have an Act in place to take care of this crime. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: In this country where we have organized kidnappers, a few people have been taken to court over this crime. I think they are not the only ones who have been doing it. Imagine some drinking human being blood? This is terrible. You may be surprised that he may get very light punishment and, probably, come out again and continue with what he was doing. You may even be surprised that the court will say that there is not enough evidence to convict the man. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our women have also suffered from organized rapists. We have them in villages and urban centres. But nobody addresses such issues squarely. We also have incidents of piracy in Lake Victoria and Indian Ocean. This is affecting our economy because there is so much money which has been reported by the Central Bank of Kenya that we have around, which is not accounted for? It is, probably, monies brought in by pirates. If we have ways and means of getting this wealth from these criminals, they will be discouraged. People will be discouraged of getting ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I agree with hon. Wetangula, some of the sentences stated here are big jokes. Do you want some people who have killed like Mr. Onyancha to be freed? This Bill says a maximum of 14 years. He can be sentenced for three months and after that he comes out and starts sucking blood. Let these years indicated be minimum; a minimum of ten years without an option of fine. That will adequately discourage such criminal activities in our country. view
