• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: If they were to be asked that question, they will also say they do not know. So, this Government, going by what I have said, it is very obvious--- view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, going by what I have said; that is about the policy of “We do not know,” if you ask them how they will reduce the price of unga, they will tell you: “We do not know!” view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I think we need, as a Government, as a country or even as a Parliament, to set up a particular area within Parliament the same way the British have done within their Parliament to allow demonstrators to come and demonstrate, because we will continue to get these answers of “we do not know” perpetually. The people who are failing the two principles – the Head of State and the Prime Minister – are none other than their Ministers! view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, is it not common economics that when the supply is more than the demand, the prices go down? It is a simple theory as that. If you ask them the amount of money they have allocated to irrigation and the amount they have allocated towards the importation of maize, you will find that they had allocated “zero point zero percent” for irrigation and 99 per cent for importing maize to go and benefit a farmer in South Africa.

If you are selling a litre of kerosene at Kshs90, do you not know that there will be no forest within a very short time? Obviously, they do not know because their policy is; “they do not know”. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I visited my constituency yesterday and I was lectured by women in the village. They asked me whether this Government does not understand that they, the people in the village do not have food but obviously, the Government does not know. However, since I was elected to come and tell them, I realized, may be, nobody told them that they do not know. All we are asking this Government is that they should not come and lament here. When you stand here to contribute on this Motion, tell us what you are doing to address the ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, obviously, he does not know how much was increased and how much was reduced. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what is the biggest achievement of this Grand Coalition Government? This House is not supposed to spend time talking about prices, because if the Government knew, this Motion would not be here in the first place. This House should not spend a lot of time--- view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government:- (a) whether he could apprise the House on the status of the Nairobi Beautification Programme; and, (b) whether he could also consider rolling out a similar programme in other towns and cities in the country. view
