• 7 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the Minister has not decided on how these funds should be disbursed. The Ministry has not yet come up with a criteria of disbursing the funds. Therefore, may I, kindly, request that this Question be deferred until when we have a specific criteria of doing so? view
• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of rich agricultural areas' feeder roads is crucial. When you go to parts of Meru, which are very productive, you will see that their roads are not tarmacked.
