• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am actually happy that you have mentioned the fact that you were wondering whether a Chair or a Member of a Committee of this House should be held responsible for the answers they read. We should start with the person asking that Statement and the phrasing of the question. We are just answering based on the questions as phrased by the Member. The Member has said that there has been encroachment in this game reserve. The first basis of knowing whether there is encroachment or not, you have to know how big this area is and ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The request from hon. C.M. Nyamai is the one that I have heard about. I wish to inform him that we will bring a report in three weeks’ time. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, a Member of my Committee ably agreed to two weeks.

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: There are many Ministries who know for sure that they will go to Geneva three times in a year, but they will not take the initiative to plan that travel early enough so that they can get the best fares at the right time. As we begin this process of ensuring that Ministries adhere to this Motion, I want us to not only move from accepting the use of the Economy Class tickets, but also to ensure that we get value for money and look at the reasoning behind why some of the travel budgets in some Ministries overshoot. Most ... view
