• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, the district accountants that are directly under the Ministry of Finance are notorious for holding back funds for kitukidogo . You must get the district accountants working on a normal basis. I speak about mine who disappears for two or three weeks and tells people to take cheques to Ahero to be signed. He does not even give authority to his deputy accountant. We have to go all the way to Ahero. This impunity in the Ministry of Finance must stop. I assure you that the next time they bring the Budget, we will ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As much as I respect the Assistant Minister, he is totally misleading the House. I think he is only reading what he has been told to read. That is impunity in the first place. He knows in his heart that what he is saying is not true. I want to read:- “An amount of money equal to not less than 2.5 per cent of all Government ordinary revenue collected in any financial year”. It does not say, excluding dividends. It does not say that you reduce the investment income. We ... view

• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also with to thank the Leader of Government Business. I think one of the main principles was that we did not want Cabinet Ministers in this committee because they sit in the Cabinet, and as much as they are very capable as Members of Parliament, I feel that their duties as Ministers will suffer or the performance of this Committee will suffer. However, I had objections to hon. Mwakwere and Mrs. Mugo being members of this Committee. I had nothing against them as they are very capable people but I think they should not ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am seeking your advice. Is it in order for Members of Parliament to read newspapers in the House? view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matter of Lake Naivasha is now becoming not just a national issue, but is on the verge of becoming a national disaster. I have been the mayor of Kisumu City and I know what they do. It is high time that the Ministry of Environment and Minerals, together with the Ministries of Public Health and Sanitation and Water and Irrigation, went and shut down with immediate effect the sewerage system, and that will be effective action. What can the Assistant Minister do to co-ordinate with his counterparts to take immediate action? We do not want ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been the chairman of the New Nyanza General Hospital for 11 years and I know those two dialysis machines. As the Minister says, it would cost over Kshs10 million a year to run the machines. What other plans does the Minister have to run those dialysis machines as he knows they are going to cost that much? Can we use a public/private partnership approach in each of these hospitals to run the machines? As you well know, buying the machines is the easiest bit. It will cost you about Kshs10 million to run ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With humility, and bearing in mind the number of people who are interested, could you kindly consider reducing the time to three minutes? view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been a chairman of a hospital for a long time. I would like to seek a clarification from the Minister. The guidelines and vision he has given are excellent. He is increasing the inflow of the NHIF, yet the efficiency, effectiveness and custody procedures of the NHIF are greatly wanting. What is he going to do to tighten those loopholes and make sure that the extra money that goes towards health-care is actually safeguarded and used for health-care management and not for purchasing useless machines and buildings? view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to inform you that Mr. Kombo is out on parliamentary business. view
