• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues in thanking my brother Mr. Lekuton for bringing this very important Bill. I would like to inform the House that what has been happening in Mumias, the constituency that I represent in this House, is that we have a lot of spilled cane which has been collected by factories. Since the 1970s, they have been collecting cane which they have been crashing. They have never known to which account that money would go to. Now that we have this Bill in place, we will now approach Mumias Sugar ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, part “a” of the Question talks of multiple accidents on a section of this road. On many Kenyan roads, the Ministry of Roads has gone ahead and indicated areas where we have black spots where we have had notorious accidents. They have even gone ahead to put skeletons to indicate the black spots. Some causes of road accidents are out of the design of roads. What is the Ministry doing to correct areas with black spots especially some that only require pumps? What is the Ministry doing to correct areas that have had perennial accidents? view

• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this Ministry we had El Nino Fund which used to address areas that have enhanced rainfall.

• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, I do not think he has enough information to guide us in his answer. Under the ESP guidelines, we were to put up five projects. One of the projects was a dinning cum an assembly, which had a Bill of Quantity (BQ) of Kshs21 million. The Kshs21 million was more than two-thirds of what you were giving. So, how do you expect the Kshs30 million to complete all the five projects? view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has talked about accessibility to polytechnics.
