• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Motion, although reluctantly.

• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to ask the Assistant Minister to identify the issues that make production of granite products more expensive in Kenya as opposed to China.

• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the second time I am asking this Question. When it last came to the Floor, the Minister insisted that it is the President who revoked the appointment of Eng. Nyarotho. Looking at the answer, it appears that he still has the same answer. I do not know whether he now has any additional information. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has promised to give me a letter. In that case, could I seek the indulgence of the House to defer this Question to a later date, so that I can interrogate the letter and come back to the House? view

In that case, could I seek the indulgence of the House so that the Assistant Minister avails the letter to me? I will then interrogate the letter and then come back to the House. I seek the indulgence of the House to defer the Question to a later date. view
