• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to misinform the House that the Item "other expenses" is itemised elsewhere when all Items are shown here?. Where is he telling us it is itemised? view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to raise an issue regarding the Second Schedule. I will raise the issue because I am concerned about it. If you May 4, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 961 look at the Second Schedule, you will see the reductions effected in the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. That is a very important issue. I know in the First Schedule, the Office of the President has almost half of the amount of the Expenditure of all other Ministries. view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at page 600, Vote D13, the amount for reduction in the Ministry of Roads and Public Works is Kshs1.6 billion. We heard from the Minister for Roads and Public Works, when he was making his presentation, that roads are important and they require a lot of money. I know that in the First Schedule, the amount of money he was asking for was an extra Kshs56 million. However, the Office the President is asking for Kshs8 billion extra. Although the Ministry of Roads and Public Works has been given Kshs8 billion in ... view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think what has come out very clearly in the discussion of this Supplementary Appropriation Bill is the need for a Parliamentary Budgetary Committee to be established, as quickly as possible, so that a Budget becomes a matter that is discussed between Members of Parliament. That way, the Minister will be able to come to this House more informed about the Budget and the Supplementary Estimates than we have seen. I recognised that the Ministers who spoke did not actually understand the Supplementary Estimates and the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: It is necessary that we be prepared to be educated. This culture of being defensive is not going to help the Government or us in the Opposition. Secondly, the point that hon. Okemo raised regarding the Recurrent Expenditure and the Development Expenditure is something that we have been debating since the Seventh Parliament. I believe it is something that should not be taken flippantly. I, therefore, hope that before the Budget is read to us in June, it will not be a sing-song on the part of the Minister still by reassuring the National Assembly that this should be taken ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Minister speak slowly? We are not hearing what he is saying. He should use the microphone so that we could hear what he is saying. The issue of ID cards is very serious and we have many questions to ask the Minister. I do not think the Minister should gloss over these questions. Would it be in order for me to ask the Minister to come up with a comprehensive statement to this Parliament to explain all the pertinent points regarding the ID cards? For example, in my location, ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for me to ask the Minister to bring to the House a comprehensive and final statement on this issue and stop speaking in Kimaasai? view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: I am surprised that the Minister is going back on the NARC Manifesto. The NARC Manifesto said very clearly that we would like to reduce the tax rates and widen the tax base. The spirit of this Motion is exactly within the framework of the NARC Manifesto. It aims at reducing the tax rate and widening the tax base. Secondly, the Minister has gone on a lecture tour on a supply-side economics of saying that view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: should continue supplying the Government with more and more taxes so that the Government can turn around and spend it on the people. However, we know that we do not need this particular tax. view
