• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. But basic research has shown us that almost 60 per cent of this money seems to be misappropriated from the Civil 1412 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 16, 2007 Service, and 40 per cent of it from the parastatals sector. Therefore, I, as a Member of the Parliamentary Accounts Committee (PAC), have a difficult task of interrogating the Accounting Officers over theft of public funds in the Civil Service. However, let me now take this opportunity to comment on specific cases, as the Report enumerated, and the inability of the Treasury to respond to all ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: No! view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am merely encouraging him to continue sitting where he is, and I will promote him to be the Chairman of the PIC next year, as he will be a Member of the Opposition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are some specific cases that I would like to cite. One of them is the Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC). The KNTC was one of the corporations that was formed by the Kenyatta Government to assist us to trade, specifically, with the Eastern Bloc. The distributive sector was, at that time, totally in the hands ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me continue in what we may call the Queen's language. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have thieves in this country who are so daring, as the PIC has pointed them out, that they have the capacity to write a cheque, for example, and walk into a bank with several empty sacks, stuff them with Kenya shillings, walk out with them and load them on a pick-up. They then go and stash the money in their rooms and houses. A case in point is where a former Member of Parliament was found with Kshs20 million, which was called loose-change-money, that was kept in the kitchen for the wife to use ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you can see, I am continually being interrupted by NARC(K) aspirants. These are people who want to force into power the NARC(K). They should not bring the squabbling of the NARC(K) into this House! Kshs19 million was lost through fraud. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am much obliged with your ruling. 1414 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 16, 2007 Thank you for continuing to protect me from what we may call "undrinkable water" that is being supplied to poor Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) where Kshs19 million was stolen, it was a clear case of what we may call "network theft". This is a clear case that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) up to today has been unable to dismantle; the corruption network. The corruption network cuts across many Ministries; they ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just been reminded that, indeed, the issue that we do have water running from Mt. Kenya all the way to Lake Victoria but, unfortunately, that water never seems to get halfway down. It is being drank by all the people who live in Mt. Kenya. Why is that happening? That will be a subject which, I hope, at the appropriate time, we shall discuss, on the continued over-drinking of water by these mountain people who have finished it for those of us in the lowlands. We do not seem able to get any ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: are suffering out there! I represent poor Kenyans in a rural constituency and I see poverty; daylight poverty every single time I go home. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, of course, one of the reasons why we are so poor is because we have no water. If only we are able to get water, we will be able to move. view
