• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is just to support this important Bill. I also wish to pass my condolences, on my own behalf and that of the people of Kandara, for the loss of the councilor from hon. Imanyara’s area. It is so shameful that we put dispensaries funded by the CDF only to find that they have no drugs. I do not know why the people who are supposed to do this job do it in secrecy. It is high time that everybody is given the opportunity to enjoy the drugs that are supplied by the Government. I ... view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyans continue to suffer and die as a result of the strike by nurses and doctors. Before these things happen, I believe that these good workers give notices to the Government. Why are these issues not addressed early enough, so that we avert these crises? These things have been happening year in, year out. Most times they happen shortly before the elections. Why do they happen? view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what has the Ministry done to ensure that they do not leave the maintenance of these roads only to cess money?

• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer he has given. However, the answer is not complete because the story we know is that the gentleman was on transfer from Kericho to Eldoret that night. On arrival at Eldoret they were stopped by the police at night. The police hit that gentleman on the head. Therefore, the allegation that he fell while running away is not true. The police were armed and if he was running away, he would have been shot. That is the order. So why was he not shot? What the ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order not to answer my question?

Why did they not shoot him if he was running away? view
