• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to speak disparagingly about the two hon.

• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to support this Procedural Motion. This is because it is of necessity in the sense that we have hit a brick wall, which is a fact. I would like to urge the Minister that the future Bills he brings, if there is anything about advertisement in the Kenya Gazette, we should note that not everybody has access to the Kenya Gazette. He should ensure that all advertisements are made in such a manner that they reach a majority of the people. We are facing many hurdles in the implementation ... view

The judge instructed the police to produce the ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to accuse me of speculation when I was just quoting what the judge said?

• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That is the largest ever donor-funded project in those counties. It could have a very major impact on the livelihoods of the people who live there. Now that the project was suspended almost soon after inspection and many projects left halfway undone with a bit of money disbursed--- There was no follow up. Most of those projects have collapsed. So, the issue of revival is not possible. It is a matter of restarting them again. How is the Minister intending to go about restarting them, considering that some of the staff that were separated from ... view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of displacement of families at around election time is historical from 1992 to 1996, onwards. Many families were displaced from Mount Elgon and settled on markets in Bungoma. Many families were displaced from Trans Nzoia and settled on markets.

Could the Minister consider coming up with a comprehensive plan of resettling all those people, so that it view
