• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sheikh Yakub has indicated that the history was not useful. Indeed, it was useful because we wanted to show how the company started making losses. He wanted to know whether workers will be paid the total amount they have demanded. My Ministry officials have taken time to compute a figure of Kshs45 million and Kshs250 million, respectively. So, I think I concur with him that is the amount that will be paid to them. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as the statutory deductions are concerned, indeed, the company was very poor on the payment of the mandatory deductions. In fact, it owes several companies, the NSSF, NHIF, Kenya Power Company and other companies a lot of money. So, this is the money that keeps on paying these bills whenever they sell their properties. So, I just want to inform hon. Shakeel that the company was not good at paying statutory deductions. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the hon. Member for Lari, indeed, the Chairman, Mr. Ruedin, had admitted that he had a very prime property along the beach; the house, where the employees are currently camping. He wanted to dispose it of so that he pays the workers. So, we are following this issue and we are waiting for the advice from the Attorney-General on how best we can secure this property in order to sell it off and then pay the workers who are still camping there. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not four employees who have died while camping there as alleged by Mr. Ochieng. In fact, seven of them have died while camping there. So, the situation is not pleasing at all. With the advice of the Attorney-General, My Ministry will move very fast to secure this property, sell it and pay the workers. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, do not let hon. Ekwee Ethuro get away with these allegations because when he says there are no serious Ministers, these are very serious allegations on the part of us. Let him withdraw--- view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Speech. In the President’s Speech, he praised the enactment of the new Constitution which created 47 counties. Busia County is where I belong. We now have seven constituencies and around 35 wards in Busia County. The people of Busia County are happy with that. They will say thank you to the President for having enabled the creation of all these areas of representation. While creating the seven constituencies, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) took consideration of the contributions of the people ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding again Busia County, the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) deliberately relocated the population of Teso South and Teso North from Busia County to Bungoma. As a result, our share of the resources has been denied. However much we are in Busia County, our resources have been relocated to Bungoma County. We have made complaints both written and verbal, but to date, there seems to be no move to effect any changes to correct the anomaly. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the Floor of this House, I want to say that the issue is causing tension because of the historical injustices that we have suffered previously and this is just treated casually but eventually it will become official. I am telling the Government or the institutions concerned that the resources from Busia County that have been allocated to Bungoma County must be returned back immediately because that is an issue that we are not going to entertain. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA), in trying to allocate the Kshs200 billion they are talking of, has designed a formula on how to distribute that money. Some of us who have been fighting for devolution, what we actually wanted was power to go back to the people. We wanted resources to be taken to the people. So, if you look at the national Budget as a whole which goes beyond Kshs800 billion, the Kshs200 billion is just peanuts to the people. I would appeal to hon. Members of Parliament if they really care to ... view
