• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In his last answer, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance said that the cars used by the three offices give them the dignity that those offices require. Is he in order to imply that the only way or the dignity that those State offices can have is by driving those fuel guzzlers which are, in fact, indignifying the other Kenyans? Is he in order? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: asked the Prime Minister:- (a) what the salary and allowances paid to an Assistant Minister in the current Government per month is; (b) why the Government has failed to give specific duties to the office of an Assistant Minister in Kenya and indicate when the Government will assign specific duties and responsibilities to the office; and, (c) considering that in the absence of the Minister in Parliament an Assistant Minister attends to all parliamentary duties, why an Assistant Minister is restricted from doing so in Cabinet. view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: The list above goes on. In fact, they have eight circumstances in which the regulations are very clear. So, what I am asking the Prime Minister is: What is the difficulty in replicating some of these things that have helped other countries to develop, so that as Ministers follow the Prime Minister or the President or the Vice-President on official duty, work in the country does not stop? Why can similar regulations not be brought forth by the Government or Prime Minister, so that we can have a more efficient Government working? view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to also join the Minister in congratulating our athletes who have supremely performed.
