• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Information and Communications the following Question by Private Notice. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: (a) Is the Minister aware that Multichoice (K) Ltd has notified all its customers that effective April 1, 2010, charges for its various services would increase by US$3 each despite the current high charges of up to US$110 (about Ksh8,000), and yet in South Africa, the country of origin, the company charges a mean rate of SA Rands 5 (about Ksh500)?

That thinking will be expressed by way of making the people who own land where they were not born, becoming insecure. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: It is true and I want to agree with hon. Duale that large tracts of land had been unfairly grabbed by people of influence, some of them politicians like us.
