• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this very brief opportunity to contribute to this very important Finance Bill. Let me start by thanking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for the manner he has moved this Bill in this House. In my view, indeed, it is very timely. I was excited by the commitment by the Minister to make sure that the cost of living, particularly among the very vulnerable in the society, is being addressed. It will not be possible to address the current trend on the cost of living if certain areas are not ... view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, today in the country Kenyans are crying because of the very high rates of electricity, water bills, fuel prices and even food prices. Therefore, it is important that this new Finance Bill addresses some of those things. The other area that I would ask the Minister to address is where the business community has continued to import illicit goods into this country, therefore, denying the Exchequer the most important revenue. Heavy penalties must be imposed on those people. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, motor vehicles have been found at the port of Mombasa with no duty paid ... view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me also join my colleagues in support of the Capital Markets Authority (Amendment) Bill. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this new authorization will improve the business climate regarding the trading of shares at the stock market. Of great concern is to address a situation where some of those players go under. We remember when Francis Thuo and Partners, Ngenye Kariuki and others went under, many jobs, dividends and resources were lost. It really affected the investors. Therefore, with this new body, it will be possible to audit and even inspect regularly the performance of the main players in those securities. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to recognize very briefly the diligent leadership that has been provided by the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ms. Stella Kilonzo, of Capital Markets Authority. Her proven leadership has enabled the stock market to expand and stabilize. Therefore, it is important that we support the new effort that is being pioneered by the Minister because it will improve the economic growth and participation by the investors. view
• 18 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I fully support the new Bill. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) whether he could provide a list of all expatriates working in managerial positions at the Intercontinental Hotel, Nairobi, indicating their respective qualifications and positions held; (b) Why the General Manager, one Mr. Karl Hala, continued to harass and dismiss Kenyans from managerial positions, and whether he is he aware that the motive is to create employment for expatriates; and, (c) What steps the Ministry will take to ensure qualified Kenyans are accorded opportunity to work at the hotel. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, while thanking the Assistant Minister for that very elaborate answer, is he in order to mislead the House that there are only six top executives or expatriates at the Inter-continental Hotel, while, indeed, I have documentary evidence duly signed by the General Manager of Inter-continental Hotel certifying that there are ten expatriates? view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will now lay on the Table of the House the names as tabulated and certified by the General Manager of Hotel Inter-continental. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Now coming back to my question, could he inform this House very clearly, why 22 qualified Kenyans have had their services terminated by the Hotel management thus killing the spirit of Kenyanization, and Africanization at the Hotel? Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to table a detail list of the 22 very qualified Kenyans, already harassed and frustrated by the top management of the Hotel. The list and the names are already annexed to that document. Could he now inform the House why only Kenyans of African origin have had their services terminated? view
