25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because there are people around me, I actually withdraw. But by Thursday, we are going to tell the nation that women were raped and people were harassed in Witu. That is the truth and we have represent people in this House. We should not shy away from the truth. We are not part of the Police Service Commission. I am not the Inspector-General of Police. I am not a police officer. I am a Member of Parliament and I stand for the people of Dujis.

19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will wait but this Question has been pending for the last two months and every time the Minister asks if I am ready to wait. I hope Mr. Mwakwere will go out and look for the Minister; his office is not very far.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a similar issue in Garissa with the road between Modikar and Nuno and it is 11 kilometres. The contractor, an Iranian company, namely, Icon, was given that contract to begin in February this year, but up to now, it has not started. What punitive measures does the Government use when a contractor fails to start work as per the scheduled time given in the contract?

19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is misleading because the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Police Service Commission are very critical and important constitutional offices that this Government has not operationalized up to now. The Chair and the two Commissioners were gazetted on 11th May, 2012 and the High Court case in Nyamira has been withdrawn. The only case that is pending is the Nairobi Case No.229 of 2011, which is awaiting determination tomorrow. The Chief Justice has not been enjoined in that case.

19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I said earlier on that this Assistant Minister is misleading this House, and he must get the facts right. The Nakuru case has been consolidated and brought to Nairobi High Court under Petition No.229 of 2011 formerly of Nakuru High Court where the Chief Justice has formed a Three-Bench-Judge. So, the Assistant Minister should not mislead us because currently, there is no case in Nakuru because the one that was pending in Nakuru was brought to Nairobi. So, the Assistant Minister is misleading the House. Let him put his facts ...

19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, knowing that the political class and the Government are always happy when we have a moribund and “dead” Anti- Corruption Commission, could the Assistant Minister now confirm to the nation that whichever way the court ruling will be tommorow, on Friday morning we will have the commissioners sworn in and operationalize the new Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission---
