• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for your accommodation. The point of information is that if somebody runs away from his or her job, he or she is view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the amendment. I think this Copyright Bill together with such other Bills and words have been supported by people outside this country. The fact of the issue is that we have done a lot of research on copyright and other things. When the Copyright Bill comes then, perhaps, this can be moved out. However, at this moment in time, the Ministry of Finance is best placed to make sure that there are no violations by certain people who just want to go and arrest on the pretext of copyrights. Many of ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: I oppose this amendment because I am not clear as to why the Minister wishes to have this clause included in the Bill. It appears that some manufacturer somewhere put a proposal forward to the Minister so that they could be accommodated. If somebody has paid excise duty, why would the Minister want manufacturers of unexcisable spirits to pay tax on spirits because they are allowed to import non-excisable spirits?

Is the Assistant Minister allowing thieves to continue being in his Ministry? Even transferring him as an ordinary teacher is not good enough. In this country, if somebody steals a cob of maize, he can be imprisoned or killed, yet teachers are getting away with Kshs451, 057. Could the Assistant Minister tell us why this gentleman should not be imprisoned for theft? view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your latitude. This is tantamount to what you call conservation. Could the Assistant Minister inform us why the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife is objecting to the Mara Conservancy, which is apparently doing a fair job and yet, issuing licences to other conservancies? Could he confirm that there is a framework and rules? Will those rules be adhered to without fear or favour? It seems to me--- view

• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister was asked to tell us what happened to the balance of the amount allocated to this project. He says by the time they were terminating the construction of this bus park, the contractor had done only 31 per cent of the works. Where is the balance? That is the question. Could he confirm whether the balance is available; and if yes, how is it? view
