• 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. 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

We are trying to strengthen our Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) to ensure that as we move on, this situation is corrected.
