• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true and it is a fact that what is before the Committee concerns the entire accounts. But the issue that has been raised by the hon. Member is also part of the mandate of PAC. These are the issues that they engage with Treasury officials, discuss and agree. They are issues that are also queried by the Controller and Auditor-General. That is why we are saying that this matter can more comprehensively be dealt with by the Committee that is looking at the accounts. It can also look at these particular aspects because they are ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As much as I appreciate the concerns of the hon. Member, he has forgotten to mention another very key figure number four, who is the Speaker of the House. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of The National Payment System Bill and its approval thereof without amendments. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Report. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The National Payment System Bill (Bill No.46 of 2011) be now read the Third Time. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize for coming late, but I beg to reply. I am not aware of a British Company, De La Rue, that has been awarded a ten- year monopoly of printing Kenyan currency notes without being subjected to international competitive tendering. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to repeat that I am not aware of any contract with De La Rue for the printing of Kenyan currency notes. What I believe the Questioner is asking is about a previous contract, possibly, but there is no contract currently that has been given to any company for the printing of Kenyan currency notes. There is no such contract and neither has any such tender been issued for the printing of any Kenyan currency. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that, indeed, is a separate Question from the one that has been asked. Nevertheless, I have no problem in doing what the hon. Member is requesting. But the point of the matter is that, that is a separate question relating to the purchase of De La Rue printing firm here in Kenya. It is true that negotiations are ongoing between the Government of Kenya and De La Rue on the purchase of a shareholding in that particular company. I have no problem because that same information, even before the transaction is concluded, is supposed to be presented ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the currency that is available is adequate in stock and, therefore, there is no need for new printing or tendering for new currency. As this House is already aware, the Constitution, itself, has made it clear that new currency that it to be printed must be done in a different format. So, that is what has to happen before even any new tender can be issued. We must, first of all, approve, as a country, the new notes that will be in circulation. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, the tender that was there has expired. There is no new tender that has been issued for the printing of currency. There will be no new tender that will be issued until after the review that I have just mentioned. view
