• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the judgement has been argued in court to be invalid in law. If you look at the facts in the case of Miwani Sugar Mills (MSM), you will, as a lawyer, realise that Justice Mbaluto had no grounds whatsoever to award the Nucleus Estate to somebody who did not have a say in that investment. view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, notwithstanding--- view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, notwithstanding the legal complexities in this case, which have been made complicated deliberately to ensure that corrupt deals are carried out in this company to ground it to a standstill so that the people of Kenya do not make wealth from this company, I would like to say that this has been going on for about 10 years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are some of the problems we have in the sugar sector in this country. It is quite clear to us--- view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have to give some background information. This is a very serious matter. It is quite clear to us that in spite of the efforts the Minister and the Permanent Secretary are making, elements in the Ministry and the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) are colluding with the Singhs and Delphis Bank of Kenya (DBK) to ensure that neither the factory nor the Nucleus Estate operate. view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can the Minister tell this House what steps the Government is taking to ensure that MSM is operational this year and not in years to come because some of these cases are forever in the courts, and they are never concluded? One of the ways in April 18, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 475 which this economy is being sabotaged is by cases going on and on in court and yet they are never concluded. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that this company is operational this year and not next year? view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. I personally took a very keen interest in the Anglo Leasing issue and my former colleague in the Cabinet, my friend hon. Murungi, has actually said that I have gone the extra mile to contribute to the debate on Anglo Leasing in public which is true. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also true that I have had discussions with Mr. John Githongo. In my presentation today, I will have to inform the House why I thought these discussions were important. I am going to divide my discussion ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: However, before I make my five major contributions to discussing the Report, I am rather intrigued by the Government "devilising" Mr. Githongo. The hon. Member of Parliament has just said that Mr. Githongo chose to coin a lot of untruths and then subsequently said that Mr. Githongo has confirmed in the Report that all the money was returned by June 2004. Is that also an untruth, and if so, does Mr. Githongo only say untruths when what he says is unfavourable, but when it is favourable it becomes the truth? view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, was there an obstruction of justice by obstructing the investigations by Mr. Githongo? The answer is yes. The PAC has interviewed all the persons involved and the Report has been written. A good part of the Report corroborates what Mr. Githongo said. Indeed, it will be very surprising that a man of Mr. Githongo's stature can actually concoct dates and discussions systematically for a whole year. If those discussions did not occur and if the calendar was not existing, I would like to submit to the House that unless we are trying to attribute to Mr. ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the hon. Murungi was making his contribution, I never interrupted him. I plead with him as a matter of natural justice to also accord April 18, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 495 the same respect to me. That notwithstanding, I had already said, at the beginning of my contribution, my interest in this matter. So, I was very transparent about the matter. However, to correct hon. Murungi I met Mr. John Githongo much earlier in June 2005, well before the Cabinet was dissolved. So, my meeting with Mr. Githongo was not after the Cabinet was dissolved. So, ... view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to read from Section 106 of the Penal Code. It states the following and I quote:- "Whoever holds out any threat or injury to any person employed in the public service or to any person in whom he believes that person employed in the public service to be interested for the purpose of inducing that person employed in the public service to do any act or delay to do any act connected to the exercise of public functions of such a person employed in the public service, is guilty of a misdemeanour". Mr. ... view
