• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like I said, these are issues that will occur from time to time when it comes to various companies that trade through our local bourse. I do not think it would be advisable to say that we have another investigation. Already, the Authority that is vested with the powers, by this very same House, is looking into that matter. Why can we not allow those investigations to continue to conclusion? The Authority should put the CMC Holdings matter to rest and ensure that investors are protected. I do not think it would be advisable to extend this ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, on 2nd November, 2011, the hon. Mbadi stood up and demanded that a Ministerial Statement on the status of Revenue Account at the Treasury be delivered by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance. I stated that the same would be delivered today. However, the issue of whether or not the Statement could be made in the House has been canvassed and the Speaker had indicated that he will rule on the matter. At the time, I stated that I would issue the Statement, which is today, I was under the mistaken ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, after conferring with my colleague, the Assistant Minister, I have determined that the facts of the matter are as follows:- view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On 21st April, 2011, hon. Mbadi requested for a Ministerial Statement concerning revenue accounts from the Ministry of Finance. The matter came up in the House on Tuesday 10th May, 2011, where the Speaker ruled that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance should not conduct any business in the House until the Ministerial Statement had been given to the House. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On 18th May, 2011, the Assistant Minister, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance submitted to the House that the matter was rightly before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), a fact supported by a Member of the PAC, Dr. Kones. It was with that in mind that he stated that making a Ministerial Statement as requested would be in violation of the Standing Orders and breach of parliamentary practice. The Chair indicated that a ruling would be delivered on the same issue. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, on 25th May, 9th June and 14th June, the Chair had indicated that the ruling would be made, but no ruling has been made to date. I would like to reiterate that the Statement requested relates to accounts for the year 2007/2008, 2008/2009 and the position of those accounts is as follows:- view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: The accounts of 2007/2008 Financial Year were queried by the Controller and Auditor-General and he submitted his Report to this House. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) duly investigated the matters raised for that financial year and in December, 2010, submitted a Report containing its recommendations to this House for adoption. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the accounts for the Financial Year 2008/2009 were audited by the Controller and Auditor-General and a Report submitted to the House. The PAC has taken up the matter and is currently investigating those accounts. Hon. Mbadi is well aware that no ruling has been made in the matter and was not forthcoming with that fact when he demanded that the Statement be delivered; knowing very well that the issue has not been decided by the Speaker. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, would like to request for a decision to be made on whether the Statement can be made, while the matter is currently before PAC, as it would be a breach of the rule curtailing anticipating debate of a Report before a Committee. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
