• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, the matter we are dealing with here is a bit serious. It really reflects how the police are working. What is the point of the Assistant Minister challenging me to give evidence when I have actually taken an eyewitness to the police and no statement has been recorded from that eyewitness? view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is okay. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While we appreciate what the Government has done about this problem and the assurance the Government has given that it will contain the problem within two or so years, there are already reports being acknowledged even by the UN that the main reason why we are having this serious drought in the Horn of Africa is as a result of climatic change, and specifically global warming. The countries responsible for this are specifically the industrialized countries. They are actually the ones responsible for this situation in the Horn of Africa. What has the Government ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance on the loss of value of the Kenyan currency. In the Statement, I ask him to clarify the following:- (i) The nature of financial activities or trading by some banks that the Governor of the Central Bank was complaining of recently which allegedly led to the loss of value of the Kenyan currency and the basis upon which that complaint by the Governor was grounded. (ii) The scope and extent to which the alleged activities have affected the Kenya ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) why the construction of Kirigiti-Kibichoi Road (C64) was abandoned in 2009, five kilometres before completion; and, (b) when the Ministry will resume construction and when the remaining section of the road will be completed. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Minister for the answer he has given. There is only one aspect of the answer I am not satisfied with. This is a contract which was going on. The road is 22 kilometres long, but only 17 kilometres were done. Since 2009, construction on the five kilometre section has not been going on. If that does not really amount to abandoning of the project, I do not know what the Minister would mean by “abandonment”. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, why have resources not been provided to complete the five kilometre stretch, so that the residents of the area can benefit from a complete road? Right now, they are not able to benefit from the complete section of the road. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The remaining five-kilometre section is in an extremely bad state. I am confirming this because I was there this week. Could the Minister confirm when the allocation of Kshs10 million for maintenance of that section of the road will be forthcoming, so that the road can be made motorable? view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Prime Minister satisfied with the explanation given by the Public Service Commission regarding the salaries of this Commission? If, indeed, he is could he tell us if an officer is arrogated power by the law to implement a particular decision, would the Government consider that power as having been duly exercised if the result is one which the Government cannot support? For instance, supposing the Commission had been awarded a salary of Kshs1 billion, would the Government say that because it is the Public Service Commission and whoever else was allowed to award that salary, ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also want to support this Motion. Everybody agrees that we need to have a Budget. We are not ready for a shut- down come the end of the financial year. The new Constitution is not a recipe for anarchy and chaos, but it is meant towards improving financial management of the country. Even though there has been controversy about the transitional process for the implementation; if any clarity was needed, the recent Speaker’s ruling was clear on the point; namely that the Minister for Finance or the ... view
