• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, will all the measures that have been put in place by the Assistant Minister, I doubt if this company will recover. The problem is the lopsided technical management agreement between the Bila Group of Companies and PPM. What is he doing to make sure that the next technical management agreement is favourable to Kenyans rather than being favourable to the Asian company, namely, Bila Limited? view
