• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether it is the gods of Africa who are unhappy with Zimbabwe and Kenya because in Zimbabwe where there is a Coalition Government, there is cholera; and in Kenya where there is a Coalition Government, there is cholera. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: It is not nice to be compared to Zimbabwe and I was happy that this Minister would give an answer that would make us look different from Zimbabwe. She knows very well that the first line of defense in this particular outbreak has been by the Red Cross under the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) which has given this Ministry over Kshs22 million. How can then she depend on reports from doctors who are in hospitals view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just like in Zimbabwe, the Minister, who is a layman in medicine is attempting to teach professional doctors in this House issues of medicine!

• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember that when the issue of quality of Alvaro came to this House and it was doubted, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, Housing, Labour and Social Welfare upon realising that the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) had already spoken, chose to go all the way to France and Geneva to see whether they would duplicate the same results. So, my question to the Prime Minister is: Aware that the premier quality assurance authority in this country is KEBS, why did you choose to refer the matter to an inferior entity called “Intertek”, instead ... view
• 23 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has told us about the use of reasonable force when they are dispersing the hawkers. I would like the Minister to tell us whether in his view “reasonable force” includes breaking of limbs and loss of lives as evidenced by the death of an innocent restaurant attendant.

If that is the case, does his Ministry realize that these hawkers and ... view
