• 1 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will realise that the concern of hon. Members regards the colossal amounts of monies that were paid to the Assisting Counsels and Commissioners. Hon. Members feel that these figures are rather astronomical. Could the Attorney- General explain to the House the criteria that he used to award these Assisting Counsels and Commissioners this kind of money? Are there really some basic ground rules that he can use to convince the House that the amount spent per Commissioner or Assisting Counsel was actually justified? view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to say that the Government is encouraging the private sector to be listed on the stock exchange and citizens are free to buy shares without proper advice from the two regulatory agencies, the Nairobi Stock Exchange and the Capital Markets Authority? view
• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one of the Questions which made me come to Parliament today. The Question asked by hon. Kajwang is very specific. It says: "What steps are being taken to make the cost of power, telephone and transport services competitive so as to make Kenya an investment destination of choice?" Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we belong to the EAC and any investor wanting to invest here will compare prices in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya, and make up his or her mind. Could the Assistant Minister tells us with facts and figures, how Kenya is competitive specifically ... view

• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very frustrated in this House because when hon. Kimunya was answering his Question he was not answering the Question asked by Members on this side. I asked the Assistant Minister a very specific question. Could he tell us with facts and figures how competitive Kenya is with respect to Uganda and Tanzania, if one is investing in the EAC market? This question is very specific and he answers it in a general manner while meandering around by talking about policies of development. That is not the answer! view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very happy to speak after my dear friend, hon. Mwiraria because he has said some things that I would want to draw the Minister's attention to. Yesterday, I came into the House when the Minister was making his contribution, and so I missed part of his speech. However, I had the pleasure of getting the HANSARD of his speech and I read it very carefully. While I commend the Minister for having contributed handsomely in the area of trade and trade negotiations, I would like to suggest, constructively, to him that in the area ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion very strongly. First of all, whereas I understand my colleagues on the other side when they say that creating new laws without reinforcing the existing institutions is not a solution to our problems, I do believe that this law is necessary. It is necessary because the Kenya Consumers Organization, which I happen to know very well and with which I had a lot to do in the 1980s and 1990s, does not really have a body to report to. The KEBS was established for the maintenance of standards. This ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion very strongly. I have just come from the Republic of South Africa, which, for all intents and purposes, is a very dry nation. In fact, water availability in South Africa is much worse than ours. July 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2369 South Africa is prone to droughts and veld fires are very frequent. Whatever misgivings or grievances we may have against the apartheid regime, and we have many, we know that apartheid capital was made on the backs of black people whose wages were never increased for about a ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. These are people who put public money to wrong use. I withdraw that word. view
