• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is misleading the House. I am not asking him about the properties whose cases have been filed in court. However, I am requesting for a list containing the properties which were taken by individuals earlier on. Those individuals did not go to court, but they took the properties. This is a well-known fact. Could the Assistant Minister lay on the Table that list? We know high class residential houses in Nakuru and Eldoret have been taken by some individuals. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has talked of the number of bags which they intend to buy, not only in Kabarnet area, but in all depots. Is he aware that because of the heavy rains, if the driers are not started and subsidized, they will not be able to buy any maize this year because the maize has got a high percentage of moisture? view

• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a crime has been committed and the evidence is there. The people on the ground know that the Government is represented by the DO. This is because when they go to the police station, they may be harassed as is often the case. Why is it that this Government cannot take action once a matter has been reported to a DO, a chief or even a DC? Even in schools, headmasters defraud schools, like in the case in the Question I brought here. People are roaming the streets yet they have stolen public money. view
• 30 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that what most of these vernacular stations broadcast is actually abusive to people, and particularly to politicians, be they from the ODM, NARC(K) or whatever party? They spend all their time in the morning maligning people. People call up, and it is usually a particular group of people who are abused. Is he aware that the radio stations broadcasting in vernacular will cause a civil war one of these days? view

• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the reasons for their being a lot of problems in our schools, for example, strikes and other complications, is that Board of Governors (BOGs) and Head teachers force schools to be boarding schools. Even children who come from nearby are forced to be boarders and thereby required to pay Kshs20,000 instead Kshs9,000. What is the Government's policy on the issue of schools being transformed from day schools to boarding schools? What benefits do they get from the Government when they are transformed into boarding schools? view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Health the following Question By Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), Eldoret, charges patients higher fees than the private hospitals? (b) Is she further aware that the hospital detains patients who are unable to clear bills upon being discharged, and bodies of persons who die while undergoing treatment? (c) How much money, in form of grants, was disbursed to the hospital by the Government and other donors in the years 2003, 2004 and 2005, and how much was spent on salaries ... view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister denies that this hospital is more expensive than private ones and that it detains bodies. I come from the district in which the hospital is located and was there last Monday. I had a big row with the hospital management. There are more than ten detained bodies. If a patient wants to be released after paying part of a bill, his or her identity card is detained. Detained identity cards at the hospital fill five to six boxes the size of this Dispatch Box. Therefore, Kenyans have been disenfranchised, because they are walking ... view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish I had more time to ask further questions. This is a very serious matter. It is so serious that it could degenerate into something else. People pay; it is not that they do not pay their bills. It may be a bill of Kshs50,000, and people pay Kshs40,000. However, when they go to the mortuary, the Russian, who is there, will demand another Kshs30,000 for keeping the body. They want to keep the bodies longer so that they get more money. Furthermore, this hospital is built on Government land; they took the Uasin Gishu ... view
