• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the last portion of the answer where the Assistant Minister is continuing to compile the information, how do these officers get information about this scheme? Is there an elaborate method of informing all of them that this process is being used to collect those who are due for promotion under the Rapid Response Initiative? view

• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government:- (a) whether he is aware that the European Union (EU) granted Vihiga County Council Kshs.9million towards the rehabilitation of rural access roads during the Financial Year 2007/2008; (b) whether he could provide an account of how the funds were utilized; and, (c) what action he will take against officers who embezzled or misused the funds. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the third part of my Question, I asked what action the Minister is going to take against the officers who were involved in the embezzlement, and he is explaining that the money was not used. However, still, that is lack of commitment and negligence on the part of the council. What action has he taken on that one, the council was able to return Kshs9 million when it is a grant that we have spent? What action do you intend to take on the officers who caused that money to be returned? view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we now have the new Constitution in place. Due to the nature of councils that we have, there are so many cases of this nature all over the country. What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that all this information is collected, so that when these councils are handed over to the county, administration is available so that money is not lost in the manner that this particular money got lost? view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My brother had contributed. He made a very good contribution and I do not know whether he has forgotten it. He had contributed last week! view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to debate this Motion as amended. I just want to reiterate that I was a member of this committee, and it did a marvelous job. The recommendations of the committee make a lot of sense, even if you take into account issues to do with the reforms that we need to be undertaking in the finance sector. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that there was some manipulation by the CBK. Kenyans actually expect protection from us as leaders; I think that is the reason why the shilling depreciated in a very short time from October to November; it went down from Kshs82 to the Dollar to Kshs107 to Dollar. I know some of my colleagues have talked about the high import costs, high costs of construction, high costs of machinery, oil and so on. All of us remember very well that from 2003, this Government embarked on major projects and the question arises: ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is well known that banks in this country are out to compete on how to make profits, and not how to render service; they have now started publishing their financial reports in the Press and every time the announcement is just on that.

We should be able to look at it and see how much the banks can give back to the citizens. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Sir, as I make this contribution I also do not want to fail to congratulate some of our local banks, which have made tremendous growth within a very short time; an example is the Co-operative Bank of Kenya, which has achieved tremendous growth within a very short time. As much as we talk of the issue of conflict of interests in some aspects, there is diversification that the Equity Bank has introduced and they are trying to assist the local mwananchi. These are some of the aspects that we have to commend our local banks for. view
