• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was trying to be cautious here because I am not sure whether the Minister is in the country or not. I am also not sure whether the Assistant Minister is in Nairobi or not. He could be in the country but not necessarily in Nairobi. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, the airport is closed. It does not mean that the Government or the institution concerned is not working on the problem that is causing the closure. This is ongoing and they are working 24 hours a day. I will pass this information to the Minister and I know the Ministry is not just sitting back to watch Kisumu International Airport closed and nothing is being done. They are working on it. I share the concern and everybody shares the concern of the hon. Members but I would like to assure you that a Statement ... view
• 31 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not ready to answer. Unfortunately, I have just arrived from Moscow where I was on official duty. I have not even gone to the office. I have just arrived straight from the airport to Parliament. So, bear with me, hon. Speaker. view

The only way out and the only salvation lies in land laws that will take care of not only their problems, but all land problems in the country. I agree with colleagues that it is not right for us to rush the discussion of the Bills, but give ourselves time and even consult far and beyond. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is wrong for the Back Bench to claim that the Executive is bringing the Bills at the very last minute. That is not right! I think the biggest mistake that we made – if I may call it a mistake for lack of a better word – is that we passed the Constitution that gave us specific guidelines on what to do. If we had not given ourselves that short period to present and pass Bills as contained in the Constitution, maybe, we would have had more time. So, it is important that we ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from experience, one year and a half is not enough time. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: That is from experience! We are talking of laws of a nation; Bills that will guide the lifestyles of everybody in this country. That was just an assumption! That was just a projection and, as humans, we make mistakes. The projection was wrong! view
