15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Tobacco Bill. Tobacco control is a universal issue. Having listened to Mr. Weya, we understand that the Ministry has come up with standards for regulating smoking. In developing countries, this is quite clear. Where the Ministry has gone astray, this is not something that is strange to us. We would like to give a limit at least to the age of a child. A shopkeeper should not sell a cigarette to a child under the age of 18 must. These are the stringent rules that ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it mesmerises Kenyans when the Assistant Minister says that out of the 45 people, ten people who were left out were nowhere to be seen. It leaves a lot to be desired.

9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of disabled persons is of national concern. The audit report that the Assistant Minister has just laid on the Table here raises questions. Disabled persons struggle so much in their day-to-day life, with some students writing using their legs. The International Labour Organisation has given out money.

But for a long time the Nairobi City Council has not maintained houses in Eastleigh and elsewhere in Eastlands. The sewerage system of these houses is bad and the houses are in a poor condition. They were built in the early 1950s. What criteria did the Assistant Minister use to raise the house rents to the current market rates? Was it because of the cost involved in maintaining the houses, or because of the influx of people from other countries who come ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister knows very well that when you are deporting a criminal, he has to be under surveillance by the Interpol. What was the country of origin of the Artur brothers and why were they here?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is bothering me is the fact that Mr. Paul Ngei died a cripple; Mr. Bildad Kagia died without recognition. The efforts made by the Mau Mau freedom fighters to earn this country Independence is a serious issue that should be allocated adequate time to be discussed by this House.
