• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very important Motion and you have seen that everybody is supporting it. In view of the time now, I suggest that you call upon the Mover of the Motion to reply. Everybody is in support of it. view

• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for giving such a comprehensive scenario on this matter, but let me, at the outset, say that the Minister for Agriculture mentioned my name, and it is true that I wrote to him to ask him to open a depot in my area. view
• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that I would get the chance, but now that you have guided me accordingly, let me say this: With the amount of petrol that was in the country between October and January, we would have had no reason as to why we were being forewarned in December that there was some looming crisis, especially during the December festivities. However, the Minister has clarified that there were some challenges in the oil distribution. The factors that he has listed, including closing down the pipeline and--- view
• 22 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in that case, I will go straight to the clarification without dwelling on the basis. First of all, I would like to know from the Minister why the board of the KPC did not know about CFA, which had a potential liability of billions of shillings?

I support it because teachers are very important people. They are the light of society and we have entrusted our kids to them. Teachers are very reasonable people. If you sit down with teachers, you will realise that they can analyse things. They know the way the Government is running its affairs. They know what we, leaders, are being paid vis-a-vis what they are being paid. So, it is not unreasonable for them to ask for Kshs3,000 which after calculations work out ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I was in charge of planning of this country, I would give the Minister for Education that money tomorrow. It is so disheartening to learn that teachers' salaries are being harmonised with the rest of the civil servants. This shows how teachers have really been shortchanged. We cannot sit here and shortchange Kenyans who are supposed to produce the Obamas of tomorrow for this country. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: We are only saying that there is no money because it has been stolen. We are saying so because we have allowed corruption to go on unabated in this country. We lost Kshs7.6 billion in a recent fuel scandal! What about the other scandals that we do not know?
