• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I want to say is that I expected us to be having more audit reports, just as we had the other day from the counties. The Auditor-General produced something in the last six months. This same auditor had not produced anything on the national Government. I wonder whether there is sort of partisanship. Those are the kind of issues we wanted to be brought to the public limelight. I would wish to see that the resources we have nationally are cascaded down to our people at the grassroots. The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is the ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I am trying to make it, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: But I am not seeing any light there. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you. When going through these Reports, you can see that various departments in the Government have been withdrawing money without the authority of this House. I believe this is a House of authority and in this House we represent our people. We have been elected and given the power to approve any expenditure. We are not a House to rubber stamp anything from anywhere. I believe it should be clarified which amounts were withdrawn without the authority of this House. Those are the kind of issues which I would wish to see dealt with. The other day there was ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support this amendment. I think this amendment is here so that it can give us an opportunity to bring that Report to this House. This is the House where we resolve issues of national importance and the issues which are in that report are of national importance and that is going to be a great opportunity to go through it and sort out these issues. As a House, we are dealing with oversight over all issues. So, we must provide the way forward on the issues which were raised in ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Even the other one who also missed the gate to State House, the other day, said that the title deeds being given out in Coast Province are fake. The issues of title deeds and land are very critical to all of us and we should give them the importance they deserve. So, this amendment is simply to give us a chance to interrogate that report of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). I know they were bickering when they were working on this but I trust that Report more than any other report because the fellows who were there ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I have waited quite for a while. I want to support this Bill because I believe we need it to streamline the wildlife sector and tourism in this country. We know that wildlife and tourism is a major source of income to our economy. We must, therefore, do all that we can to ensure that we strengthen this area. I am happy that this Bill is talking of devolution. There are some sections in this Bill which will be under the counties. I support the issue to do with compensation and ... view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives and the Chair for involving me in tackling this request for Statement. However, I must raise some few issues. One, I expected the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to audit the functions of Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA). Unfortunately, when I appeared in that Committee, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: what the Ministry brought were simply photocopies of responses by KTDA. I thought it was a very bogus way of answering that request and in fact I doubted the competence of the people who were there. They are unable to monitor KTDA and that came out clearly. If you were to go through this very long Statement, which the Chair only picked on certain areas, you see among the factors which occasion the drop in the earning and bonuses is a drop of the Kenyan global tea prices from US$3.19 to $3.18. But there was information which was provided by ... view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: In Colombo tea auction, the price of tea in the Financial Year 2011/2012 was US$ 3.08 and in 2012/2013 it was US$ 3.18. But the actual one where our tea passes through, Mombasa tea auction, in that period it was US$ 2.74 and US $ 2.80 respectively. But here in this Statement they are quoting the Colombo tea auction. You can see this is a totally irrelevant answer given what I raised. The issue of the brokers was not even tackled, because they are the ones who determine whether to pay this tea bonus or not. I wondered why there ... view
