13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has explained to my dear friend, Mr. Ndambuki, that there are on-going reviews by the IMF on the PRGF. Mr. Ndambuki asked why the reviews are on-going and without conclusion. That is what amounts to a freeze!

If they had agreed, the reviews would not be so many, one after the other and not being conclusive. Could the Minister explain to Mr. Ndambuki, in a down-to-earth language, what is the content of the review and why are they not concluding them so that the PRGF can actually be a growth facility and not a stagnant facility?

13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to raise this issue. The Minister is very right. The Government holding of less than 10 per cent in Uchumi Supermarkets makes it handicapped in interfering with Uchumi's affairs. However, the Government has regulatory agencies which should have warned Kenyan investors like myself - I am a shareholder in Uchumi - about what was coming. These are the Capital Markets Authority and the Nairobi Stock Exchange. Could the Minister explain to the House what steps the Capital Markets Authority took to make sure that the affairs of Uchumi Supermarkets between 2000 and ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to contribute to this Motion of Adjournment. I would like just for us to go down memory lane a bit to early this year. It was strongly stated by the Minister for Immigration that these two gentlemen were investors. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have expected the Minister for Finance or the Minister for Trade and Industry or the Minister for Planning and National Development to give us that information. The wrong Minister gave this country the wrong information. So, the Minister of State for Internal Security has been operating with false information from the ...

13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the hon. Minister's statement. But I would like to add the following. These two gentlemen have been driving in Nairobi with cars without number plates since the beginning of the year. That is a crime in this country. Secondly, these people have been bringing goods into this country without proper procedure. If you ask anybody at the airport, and we have friends there, these two gentlemen have been importing parcels into this country very regularly without proper procedure. These parcels are alleged to be either counterfeit money or dugs. Because very many strange things were ...

6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I am deeply committed to controlling smoking in public places, and I appreciate the health aspects of it, the Assistant Minister has said that he took those measures as a result of delegated legislation. Could the Assistant Minister come up with a satisfactory way to deal with this issue so that the Government cannot be sued, or avoid injunctions being filed in court by tobacco companies to stop those regulations?

31 May 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a problem in this House in the sense that the microphones are not working very well. Can there be an improvement on the audibility of the microphones? While that is being done, I have a question for the Minister. The Minister, who is a good friend of mine, is being asked a very important question. I would want him to respond to the General's question because he asked a very specific question. What plans does the Ministry have in the Nyika Plateau, which is an important beef producing area? There is a big problem ...
