• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (b) On providing the full list of all those who travelled to the All Africa Games, I have broken them down into various disciplines and various officials who travelled to Maputo. The total number was 396. I also table that list! view
• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (c) As indicated, out of the contingent of 396 people who went to Maputo, I am not aware of any joy-riders. view
• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when answering this Question, I am very much aware of the way Government documents are audited. I know that hon. Khalwale is the Chairman of the PAC and he knows how Government audits are done. Looking the way this Question is put, what I have provided could be something like a management report. It is in response to this Question. If it is an issue of audit, I think we will have to follow the Government procedures and I am sure the hon Member knows how those procedures are followed. view
• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I accept that. I am going to ensure that the documents are properly signed by the accountant and certified as you have ruled. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am told that a copy of the written answer to this Question was dropped in the Member’s office at Continental Building and some copies sent through the Clerk. So, I do not know if the hon. Member has checked in his office. This is because I have been assured that those copies were dropped in his office at Continental. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is what I was just checking and I have been told that these copies were dropped. However, more are coming. I have just asked for copies of the written answer to be brought. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, maybe if we can just take one more Question so that I can get the copies of the written answer. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for permitting me to answer this Question. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) Investigations have revealed that 30 youth from Bangali Location who worked under the KKV Programme in June to July 2010 were not paid their full dues. The total amount of wages due to them was Kshs330, 000 out of which Kshs96, 000 has since been paid to them. Accordingly they are owed Kshs234, 000. (b) A mechanism to institute disciplinary action against the officer who was involved in the irregularity is already under way. I wish to confirm ... view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is true that the hon. Member had asked this Question earlier and I stood on the Floor of this House saying that investigations were being carried out to ascertain what exactly happened. It took time for us to reach this conclusion; that truly, the officer was responsible for misappropriating this money. There have been a lot of challenges with the KKV programme. The way the implementation was being done was flawed. It is not just in Bangali, there are so many other places we are having problems in and this is what we have worked ... view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is not contradictory. Indeed, the two answers are complementing each other. Those are some of the bottlenecks that they faced during the implementation of the programme. They were being used as a cover-up for some of these problems of not paying the youth. However, the truth of the matter is that those problems were there. There were challenges that were there. When the answer was given at that time, those challenges were being used to cover up this misappropriation of funds. view
