• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to what hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona had raised early about technology and our practices, I think the technology that we have adapted must match with the rules.

• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Having said that, I want to thank the House.

We are going to look at those areas that really affect the environment of doing business. But Kenyans must be self-reliant at the end of the day. We have received information from stakeholders and I am going to table a report on that. I am sorry we have delayed a bit but I am on top of things.

• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying we are tabling a report pursuant to Standing Order No.127. I will be bringing a very comprehensive report before the Third Reading. I want my friend to hold his horses for the time being before we reach there. We will cross the bridge when we reach there. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really do not want to say more than what I have said but we would want the honourable House to look at this thing very objectively. In my Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, we are very objective and we ... view
