• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I take this opportunity to thank the Minister for that answer, I am happy to note that through KERA, you are carrying out an assessment throughout the country to identify areas where you will add money. However, with regard to the roads in Mumias, would you tell us when because as we speak now, some of the roads are not in use? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for all the answers he has put forward. I do not know whether this is unique to Mumias, but during the Financial Year 2009/2010, Mumias had been allocated Kshs8.5 million.

That money had been budgeted for a particular road. view

• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Assistant Minister for that honest answer. It is not many times you receive this kind of answer in this House. You have heard from the Assistant Minister that in four months, Mumias farmers have lost a whooping Kshs881 million. No wonder the poverty index in Mumias still stands at 76 per cent! view
