• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (a) My Ministry cannot confirm that 194 Kenyans have died between January and November, 2009 from cholera or diarrhoea caused by acute water shortage. This is because we have no competence to determine causes of death. In addition, cases of cholera cannot be attributed to water alone. There are several points along the cholera transmission path at which it can be spread, including food, personal hygiene, contaminated materials and contact between infected persons. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, we ensure that the water that we give to people is clean. Maybe sometimes people get contaminated water but not from the sources where water is provided by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation.

• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When we had very acute shortage of water, we contracted vendors and people who own water bowsers and we ensured that they were thoroughly inspected to see that they met the standards. However, sometimes you come across people who would just do the wrong thing. But we are on it to ensure that the water bowsers that are being used are thoroughly cleaned and they meet the standards. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had a map that showed the real areas that had acute water shortage. We continue to drill boreholes and deliver tankers and tanks.

• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.76 to issue a Personal Statement. On 9th September, while I was away on official duty, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, while contributing to debate on the Floor of the House, tabled a list of Ministers, Members of Parliament, Permanent Secretaries and other senior Government officers whom he claimed were under investigation by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC).
