• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister for coming up with these new rules. However, I have a fear because the previous Minister for Transport, Mr. Michuki, gazetted various rules, but as I talk now, those rules are not being followed. I want to get an assurance from the Minister. How sure is he that these rules he has gazetted will be complied with? Secondly, he has indicated that he has gazetted new rules on motorcycles.

• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: At the outset, I would like to say that I am the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing.

• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have looked at the amendment. The 10 per cent that has been given to KERRA was initially meant for district roads.

• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question seems to be eliciting some confusion. I would want to know from the Assistant Minister what constitutes cattle rustling. This is because whereas the hon. Member asked about cattle rustling, we are talking about cattle theft. What is cattle rustling and what constitutes it? view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you are listening, the Assistant Minister is not actually answering the Question. This is because he is admitting that there was cattle theft and there were arrests. What happened in Kisumu East Constituency and the people who were arrested? How does he differentiate that these other ones just take cattle without using force and the others use force? view
