• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: 3594 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 29, 2007 view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was actually going to speak when responding, but I have risen on a point of order to just wonder whether it is in order, first, for Mr. Syongo to insinuate that it is a small team within the Treasury that meets. There is a Privatisation Act, which Mr. Syongo passed, and we have followed its procedure. Is he, therefore, in order to say that, especially when he was an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Finance, and his office is still waiting for him? view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I would like to explain that this very House passed the Privatisation Bill. Many issues that I have heard this morning arose when we discussed that Bill. It is very important that this House scrutinises the assets of Kenyans. That was the spirit in which, when Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o brought the Motion on Privatisation, the House endeavoured to pass. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on issues that have gone to Initial Public Offer (IPO), there has been fair distribution to Kenyans or whoever wants to buy shares in state ... view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) No payments have been made against Kshs17,562,015,641 external loan balance for security/defence items that was outstanding as at 30th June, 2006. (b) Payment of the outstanding balance will be determined by the outcome of the ongoing investigations by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), and the valuation forensic report being prepared by M/s PricewaterHouseCoopers. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an issue which has been dealt with. The report of the auditors is complete. As we speak, there is a team in the United Kingdom to conclude the particular audit. We hope that in the next few weeks, we should be able to come hear and issue a statement on all of them. It is an issue which has been pending, and which should come to a 2924 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 1, 2007 conclusion once everything is in place. I expect that in the next two weeks, we will have a conclusive report that ... view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the major elements of the forensic report was valuation of the actual work that was done, or perhaps not done, within the contract. This can only form the basis of a proper arbitration. It will not be right to jump into an arbitration before you actually determine the value of the work already done, which so far appears to be less than what is in the contract signed. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the most important thing is to get a basis for any discussion. That is what the report of the M/s Pricewaterhousecoopers is all about. As Mr. Kajwang said, at some point there will be an arbitration; but you can only have it when you have the valuation, which means we will be relying on the report of M/s Pricewaterhousecoopers to move forward. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Over the last four years, the revenue collected at Busia and Malaba border posts and Mombasa Port is as follows: For Busia Border Post the revenue was Kshs525,944,105; Malaba Border Post was Kshs873,511,016.15; Mombasa Port was Kshs236,435,364,347.55. (b) The revenues were ploughed back to their respective areas in form of LATF, CDF and other general Government budgetary allocations as follows: Busia District - Kshs1,153,468; Teso District - Kshs457,690,000; Mombasa District Kshs2,273,017,615. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, a lot of this revenue is generated from July 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 9 goods from all over the country. Goods are on transit especially when you look at the border posts in Malaba and Busia. I think the most important thing is to vote some of the funds that are channelled through LATF and CDF and are part of what we have agreed in this House as equitable distribution across the country. The other bit that I mentioned is what is normally allocated to Ministries through normal budgetary provisions that are there ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this revenue is not generated by the people living at those points. This revenue is generated by the amount of trade that goes through. If you look at these two border posts, these are goods that are going to Rwanda and Uganda. There are general budgetary allocations in terms of security, health care and education facilities and this is done by this House when we discuss the budgetary provisions. view
