• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the stabilizer should be there by now and so it will not happen again. It is just unfortunate that, that happened. By the time the machine in Kapenguria broke down, it was new according to the information we have and it had a warranty. So, even if it has a problem right now, that warranty is still effective. We have been assured that this will not happen for a long time. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to give comfort to the hon. Member, we have admitted that previously, information was not flowing as it should.

• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: So, I want to congratulate the Minister. It has taken a long time. We waited for this Bill in the last Parliament. I am happy that it has finally come.

• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: We also go there quoting things that have something to do with England. In Kenya, there has never been a clear-cut law. Therefore, this Bill is a big improvement on that situation. I am sure that every person who is a practitioner of maritime law today, upon the passage of this Bill, will leave a big sigh of relief.
