• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that clarification. I am speaking in my own right as the hon. Member for Ndia Constituency, and I thought we were all equal. June 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1413 I was saying that whereas we appreciate the hard work that the Minister has done, to come up with this substantial Budget, we should have passed this Motion yesterday. We need this money, so that the new Ministries can be given a preliminary Budget to start working on their programmes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must accept that the way forward, in effecting devolution, can be ... view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was just going through the objections that hon. James Orengo addressed and I have realised that there is one objection that you did not make a ruling on. He said that clearly, any Motion like this requires the consent of His 1428 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 25, 2008 Excellency the President.

• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contributions towards this year's Budget. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I must commend the Minister for Finance for having come up with a Budget which in my view is reasonable, particularly if you take into account the circumstances that have been prevailing since December when we held our elections. We must also commend the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for saving this country. I do not know how they June 24, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1337 are collecting taxes, but whatever kamuti they are using, it seems to ... view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, kamuti is that knowledge that cannot be explained in any other language apart from Kikamba. I am saying whatever kamuti KRA is using in collecting taxes, they should continue using it because it is working. Most people expected that the revenue collection would go down, but it has not gone down. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I commend the Minister for coming up with what I would call a reasonable Budget, there are some things, however, that are missing in the Budget. For example, I did not see a lot of allocation concerning the rain harvesting ... view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: . Every ten houses make a village, and that is recognized as part of devolution. Devolution is the key; so, we must go for it. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must also protect our forests, and we should politicize the issue. Tanzania is very unhappy with the destruction of the Mau Forest.

That is the same case with Egypt. They are also concerned ... view

Kajembe is imputing improper motives on Back-benchers, but in the same token, he has imputed improper motives on hon. Kajembe by saying that he is tired, but can he not see how he himself behaves? view
