• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the production of food relies on fertilizer to some extent. It is the type of fertilizer used that determines the quantity harvested. In 2009, this Assistant Minister assured this House that they will eventually do a soil survey to determine the kind of fertilizer that is required. Have they now done that survey, and if so, what are the results? view

Is the Assistant Minister in order to keep on harping on the World Bank sponsored programme which has been suspended for more than two years now?

• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Tuesday last week, the wananchi of Rongai arrested vandals who had vandalized the railway line and loaded it onto a lorry. They handed those people over to the police. However, to their shock, the railway police arrived from Nakuru and released this lorry with the materials. Could the Minister inform this House how far the investigation has gone and how far efforts to recover these materials has reached? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister clarify whether they are not putting the cart before the horse in the sense that they have got Kshs400 million for marketing a hub that does not actually exist?

• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to suggest that the Report belongs only to the Chairman and not the whole Committee, and to even cast aspersions on the Chairman and say that he was overwhelmed? Is the hon. Member in order? He should withdraw. view
