• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission now, I beg to move. The Budget for the Financial Year 2008/2009 that was presented to this House on June of 2008 was formulated within a fiscal framework aimed at achieving and sustaining macro-economic stability for laying a firm foundation for reducing unemployment and poverty as envisioned under Vision 2030 Medium-Term Plan.

• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I have tried to adhere to the fiscal programme presented to this House in June, 2008 the implementation of the Budget has, indeed, faced numerous challenges which have undoubtedly disrupted the original assumptions that formed the basis of the Budget. Key amongst these challenges are:- i. The slow-down in economic growth to now 3 per cent as opposed to the previously envisioned 5.8 per cent associated both with the post-election violence and the global economic meltdown, resulting in a revenue shortfall amounting to Kshs7.2 billion, ii. The postponement of the issuance of the sovereign bond for ... view

• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to once again thank all Members who have contributed to this Motion today. As I thank them, I wish to say that I would like to begin with the remarks that were made by hon.

• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let us call a spade a spade. Enough is enough! Kenyans are watching us and are disappointed with us! That is the bottomline. We are all in the Government, save for Mr. Jirongo. All of us are in Government. We can no longer continue having a debate as to who is greater than the other. As it stands now, the Government is unable to release monies to attend to critical and crucial matters facing this nation and to feed our people because we cannot get on with the Business of this House, pass the Supplementary ... view

Otherwise, let us dissolve this House and ... view
