• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are dealing with two distinctly separate issues. As hon. Members are aware, having gone through the Budget, we have included amounts which once approved by Parliament will go towards settling IDPs. What I said in my Speech is that what is realized from the sales would also be added to the IDP resettlement situation. So, one does not necessarily follow that the IDP situation is resting on the date we shall dispose of those vehicles. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the part that is a question is why the exemption and it is because those three offices also represent the State and as such the dignity of those offices needs to be respected and maintained. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this particular matter, I do not think there is any need to be gracious. I want to re-emphasize the point that I have said. It is not the only thing that represents dignity but at the end of the day, like I said, those offices need to be looked at just as somebody also mentioned that we have other constitutional offices as well that need to be upheld and their dignity and status maintained. This is just one way and I am not saying it is the only way. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am in no way misleading the House. The day that Kenya will start to manufacture her cars like the United Kingdom manufactures her Jaguars and France her Peugeots, I will definitely agree with the hon. Member that we shall have our President, the Vice- President and the Prime Minister driving Kenyan made vehicles. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I recall well the meeting we had in your office on this matter, we agreed that external debts are contained in the audited accounts that we produce. There is no other per se debt register except the individual debt record available at the Treasury as I explained. Unless I brought a whole two rooms of documents, it is impossible to bring that forward. I seek your guidance on this matter because we deliberated at great length. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will have no problem. Any time at the convenience of the hon. Member, we can just make arrangements with the Debt Department and he can avail himself--- view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Not before the House but at the Treasury--- view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Perfect! That is possible! view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Speaker do now leave the Chair. May I take this early opportunity to thank the House and Members of Parliament for affording us the opportunity to move the Vote for the Ministry of Finance. Further, I thank the Chair and the Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for having constructively discussed this Vote when I presented the same before them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I present to the House the Ministry of Finance Budget for 2009/2010 Fiscal Year, allow me, as a guide, to give the mandate ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you and I want to also thank my colleagues for all the very useful comments that they have made. Just to highlight a few, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee did talk about the issue of reviewing the previous year; 2008/2009. I think that is something we can work together with him and give him a complete breakdown, both of Recurrent and Development Expenditure for the previous year when we sit with him and his Committee. However, in future, as we present new Budgets, we will take his point into account. view
