• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not mislead this House and I have no intention of doing so. I am being totally honest. As I said, these are just allegations. He has said that since he was the one who provided all the information, he is entitled to Kshs2 billion. I wish to assure this House that the Government of Kenya has absolutely view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that those are allegations. That is what he said in his suit. It is for those allegations that he is saying that he is entitled. The matter is more serious than that. We have one Mr. Maina Kiai who waived diplomatic immunity on behalf of the Government of Kenya. There are some things that are happening and they are like fiction. Imagine a former Chairman of the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) waiving diplomatic immunity! view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again I want to say this clearly, that the exhibit D, which Mr. Odhiambo has attached to his suit showing that he was paid Kshs200,000, the payment voucher is in the name of Mr. J. Nduati and it was for payment of an informer. Mr. Nduati says that the informer was not Mr. Odhiambo but somebody else. These are just allegations. This matter is more serious because the former Chairman of the KNHRC has written a letter waiving immunity of the Government of Kenya. So, we are saying that there is a conspiracy going on here. ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have all the information. If you look at that exhibit, it is an allegation. He is saying that he was paid, but when you look at the view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that we are confusing two issues. Let me, first of all, start with the documents tabled by the Member for Juja on that individual payment of Kshs200,000; Exhibit D. On that one, the payee is somebody J. Nduati. On the others, Mr. Odhiambo has been paid by KRA on only two occasions--- view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, informers play a very great role as far as KRA is concerned in the collection of its revenue. I think the point of contention can be simplified as this: Yes, Mr. Odhiambo was paid by KRA on two occasions and I have listed them. But that information was gotten from Charterhouse Bank. The KRA continues to receive information from the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission. They also receive information from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). They even have their own intelligence unit called the Revenue Protection Services. First of all, I want to put it very clearly ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Gladly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think this matter was investigated by a Committee of this House and their conclusions are very clear. The Charter House Bank was cleared by the KRA. It was cleared by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and the police. It was cleared by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) and that is the position. On the specific questions that Mr. Mwau has raised, it will be noted that at this time we have a law prohibiting money laundering. So I would like to say the bank – I am talking about the bank and not customers ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, this is the allegation that is in the affidavit of that man that one Mr. Maina Kiai waived diplomatic immunity for the Government of Kenya and, therefore, the Government of Kenya can be sued in the USA. This is the allegation he is making but we are saying that we have no intention of waiving our immunity. This is not a commercial transaction and we are going to defend this suit with the top most lawyers in the USA. We have no intention of paying a single cent to this man. view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: He is agreeing! view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Central Bank of Kenya (Amendment) Bill be now read a Second Time. I will be very quick because these are very basic amendments and they follow from what we passed in the Finance Act. The Government has continued to support the development of the banking sector, particularly enhancing the policy and regulatory framework which has been instrumental in widening the scope of customers and investors in the sector. These efforts by the Government have so far helped create a suitable environment for the mobilization of savings to finance projects ... view
