• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I hope that, as we go home, we will use this time to remember where we came from in January, 2008, and the many challenges that are facing us, as leaders. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: We really need to be more positive about the issues affecting our people more than we have been. We have to work very hard to win back the confidence of Kenyans.

• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, of great concern is the issue of food security.

• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we realise that Kenya has only been known as a safari and beach destination. It is in our interest to diversify tourism products. Northern Kenya is part of the areas that we will be targeting. The Ministry will be undertaking a trip to northern Kenya, and all hon.
