• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, road markings and signs should be part of road construction. The view

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Assistant Minister has just implied that in that particular road, road markings and signs are part of the contract. That should go without saying. Is the Assistant Minister trying to imply, therefore, that the reason why Kenyan roads are not marked or signed is because those are different contracts? view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am rather worried about the criteria that the Assistant Minister just gave. He did not include presidential directives for loans to farmers to be written off, as one of the criteria used in writing off AFC loans. I am rather worried for sugar cane farmers in Western Kenya, whom the President promised that the Government would write off their debts. The Assistant Minister has not included that as one of the criteria for writing off AFC debts owed by farmers. view

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fear that we are now turning to debating what you have just told us not to. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister needs to know that while some tribes might think that all cattle belongs to them, some tribes think that all the money belongs to them! view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This House is being called upon by Kenyans to actually do something good for this country. After the elections of last year, we have come up with several commissions of inquiry. They have told us clearly that all those problems were brought about by four groups of people; the political class on one side, the Electoral Commission of Kenya on the other side, the arms of security on one side and the media. view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Right now, we are dealing with the Electoral Commission of Kenya. The political class will be dealt with by the tribunal we will set up on the Waki Report. On the arms of security, I am sure we will be able to reform them. But what do we do about the media? view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to keep those issues clearly in mind before we play to the galleries. As we seek to reform the media, let us also keep in mind that we should not gag them completely, because they are also the mouth-piece of politicians. So, let us be careful about that, but give us guidance as to what we should do with this Fourth Estate that contributed to the chaos; that is the media. view
