• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, that team was sent only after the Question was raised in Parliament, yet the issue has been there for a long time. Indeed, the Assistant Minister showed me a report last year recommending commencement of payment of hardship allowances with effect from last financial year, which was later changed to June, 2007. When, specifically, can the Assistant Minister assure this House that the hardship allowances will be harmonised, so that some civil servants are not discriminated against, rather than giving a vague answer that action will be taken ... view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Suba District, like Kuria District, is outside the end of the world. The cost of manufactured items has more than doubled in Nairobi.

• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for recognising that I enjoy some difference. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to make a few remarks on this Bill. First of all, we are bringing this Bill very late! You will remember that it was one of the very first Papers that we discussed when the Ninth Parliament was inaugurated. We spent endless moments both at the Committee Stage as well as at a retreat in Mombasa, which was sponsored by others, to discuss this Bill. Given the urgency of adopting biotechnology, I just want to express ... view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The question of money being allocated to local authorities for specific projects is a major one and covers the whole country. Would I be in order to ask the Assistant Minister to table allocation of funds from fuel levy as well as LATF for development projects from all local authorities, so that we can follow up on the matter? view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when can the Assistant Minister table before the House allocations of development funding from the KRB, LATF as well as LASDAP for all local authorities, so that the country can know exactly what money has been allocated and how much has been spent for the intended purposes? view
