• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I asked this Question in June. It is now four months down the line and the Assistant Minister is telling us that he is studying the volume of traffic. Four months have elapsed since the Question was asked. How long does he need to study the volume of traffic on that road to enable him know how much he should spend on it and whether he should put speed bumps on it? view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Assistant Minister in order to say that he requires one year when I expect the Ministry to have statistics on the use of the road? They should be having the statistics! Why does he need another year to study the situation while people are dying on that road? view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. A precedent was set in the last Parliament, where when the Ministers were not available to answer Questions, the Leader of Government Business would answer them here. Why can the current Leader of Government Business not do the same? view

• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this injury occurred in 1996. When an employee is injured at his workplace, the procedure is that the employer should fill Form LD104. Then a doctor fills in part "b" to ascertain the extent of the injury. This is a procedure that takes less than a month. Has the Assistant Minister tried to find out why this has taken the period from 1996 to 2008 for the employee to be compensated? This could have been done within a month! view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister is misleading the House! In normal circumstances, the employer is supposed to pay the claim first and then seek compensation from an underwriter. So, the issue of the insurance company going under is not a reason for the claim not to have been paid. view

• 16 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I asked this Question at the end of May and it has taken five and half months to be answered, yet from the answer it looks like it was a very easy Question to answer. I asked this Question because of my worry for the sugar-cane farmers. When I got the information that the SDF was being increased from Kshs3.2 billion to Kshs4 billion, I realised that, that was a 25 per cent increase. Right now sugarcane farmers are really suffering! In fact, they are getting no profit, or debits at the end of every season. ... view
• 16 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he has not really answered the question satisfactorily! The question I asked was in terms of figures and not percentages. What I wanted to know is how much profit do you expect? Out of that profit, how much will be apportioned to "Kilimo Biashara" and how much will be retained at the Kenya Sugar Board for use by farmers in the sugar growing areas? You have also indicated that 4 per cent of the levy to sugar consumers will be spent on that. How much do you expect that to be? If you are going to ... view
