• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts Sessional Paper No.15 of 2012 on the Kenya Government Guarantee of a loan of US$93,000,000 equivalent to Kshs7,994,280,000 from European Investment Bank to Kenya Airports Authority for the Rehabilitation and Expansion of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday 18th December, 2012. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. Again in accordance with the Public Finance Management Act, Laws of Kenya, Parliament is required to approve any guarantee and that is why I was particularly happy ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to thank hon. Members for their very valuable contributions and say that Kenya Airways is in a position to meet its liabilities. So, really, we should not fear that the Government will be called upon to repay. They project that the passenger figures will increase from 2.5 million to almost 9.5 billion, but I agree with the hon. Members that we need a second runway at JKIA. It is embarrassing that if there is a small mishap at the runway, then the whole airport has to be closed. So, that ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to thank you for your wise leadership and guidance. You have been able to view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just wanted some clarification because hon. Keynan was almost convincing us, but now he has confused us. He says that he wants us to delete, but after what we have deleted, then what happens? Then, you say that you are going to bring amendments. When are you going to bring these amendments? After deletion before you bring your amendments, then what happens? If you are going to bring amendments, why do we not then approve the way it is and then, come up with amendments on all the paragraphs, so that they are reconciled? You ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Since you deleted the word relating to the Senate, it follows logically that we must also delete the one for the National Assembly to enable the two Houses to have different committees on intelligence. I thought that was the basis upon which hon. Keynan convinced us and if they are all joint, it will be on an ad hoc basis. It will not be forced into a marriage they do not want. I thought that was the basis. If we delete the first one, then ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that we must learn from the experience of hon. Keynan. He has been in charge of this Committee and, therefore, knows what he is talking about. To my friend, hon. Ethuro, you have done a wonderful job in coming up with these Rules. What we are trying to do is to improve them. So, please, take any proposed amendments in that spirit. We are not saying that they are bad. We are improving them. Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, what hon. Keynan is proposing is what superpowers like America have done. Defence and Foreign Affairs ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had actually moved this Motion and it had been seconded. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You will recall that the only issue that was in contention was that Members wanted the County Bills published first so that they can have a look at them before approving the Supplementary Estimates. That was the only issue. Indeed, late that evening, those concerns were actually addressed and the Bills have been published. They have been with us now for--- view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know why Mr. Duale does not want to understand. The Kshs6.8 billion, which has been allocated for the four months, is for wages and administration expenses; it is based on actual Estimates for personnel expense for each county. For example, the number of executive committee members in each county is not uniform; it depends on the number of wards represented. Therefore, the cost of administration and total wages will differ from county to county. Secondly, the Commission on Revenue Allocation claims that the allocation of Kshs6.8 billion is below the minimum of 15 ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sincerely thank the House for approving the Supplementary Budget that will enable us now to proceed to the other Bills. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Transition County Allocation of Revenue Bill--- view
