• 26 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to impute improper motives on my people by saying that there is insecurity? Kamwega is a very safe place. We border Western Province. There is no insecurity! view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) has shown us that, if we devolve resources to constituencies, you get more equitableness. Could we instruct the Ministry to order the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to start recruiting teachers at the constituency level? view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we passed a legislation here to liberalise the coffee market, we were assured that coffee farmers will produce enough coffee to sustain a small factory that would mill the coffee and sell it outside the country.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, those of us who come from such areas know that if you plant a tree on grass, it will not grow because it will be destroyed by moles and insects.

I was a Minister for Environment and Natural Resources and I know that without the view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: system, we are wasting our time. We are just allowing the Pan-African Paper Mills to destroy our forests. They will run away to India or to wherever they came from, and we will continue to import electricity poles from as far as Finland. Getting connected to electricity is very expensive because we import the poles. We should try to use concrete poles. For the moment, we should re-start the shamba system.
