• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are challenges, especially in the urban centres. There are traffic jams in Nairobi, Kitale, Eldoret, Nakuru and so on. I think we should come up with some programme so that we ease the traffic congestion and save on fuel. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that the Minister has the ability to perform. If hon. Michuki is an old man and he was able to perform, and you are a young man, why do you not re-enforce the Michuki rules so that sanity comes back to this country and we reduce the deaths ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I am aware of file ACPU No.14B/17/3/2003 – Irregular Payment of Honoraria to Harambee Sacco inquiry team which was forwarded to the Attorney-General with a recommendation that seven members of the Harambee Sacco together with two officers be surcharged for irregular allowances received from Harambee SACCO totaling Kshs7, 696,400. This was duly reported in the quarterly report of the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission for the period January to March 2004 in paragraph 4 at page 4. The Attorney-General upon perusal of the inquiry file directed the KACC to carry out further inquiries ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to clarify that at no time did the KACC recommend a prosecution. They never at any one time recommend a prosecution. The original instructions in their file to us, they recommended that the seven officers be surcharged and not prosecuted. When I ordered further investigations, I thought that there could be some way of getting enough evidence for them to recommend a prosecution. But when the file came back, it was in a modified form and they still recommended the surcharging of the officers concerned and in particular, Mr. Mwadime. So, ... view

• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the Anti Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, the Attorney-General can require investigations to be done. The Minister for Justice can also require investigations to be done. Any public or private body can request investigations to be done. In this particular case, the request to the KACC to investigate the matter came from the Ministry, presumably after they had received that report. So, they did actually carry out investigations. Once the investigation has been done, the file has to go to the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya. Here is the file. The file actually came ... view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a letter dated December, 2009. That is a different question from the Question which is before the House. I would look at that letter and inform the hon. Member what action has been taken on this specific letter. view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, sir, there was an Annual General Meeting of the SACCO, which was held on 9th October, 2003 and it approved the audited accounts. During that meeting, this matter was discussed and some honoraria agreed on and others to be refunded. But in respect of Mwaliko, it was found that he had gone over and above what had been approved. That was why, as required under the Act, I wrote to the Director of KACC to take up the matter. I know he took up the matter by a letter dated 28th March, 2007. In fact, in this ... view
