• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. I would like to thank His Excellency the President for his Speech. As my colleagues have said, the Speech should have covered a lot more areas and, more so, areas to do with the economy of this country. However, the most important part of the Speech was about the implementation of the Constitution. I think it is our right and duty as Members of this House to ensure that we implement the Constitution fully, as expected by the people of this country. Mr. Temporary ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: The previous speakers have mentioned about the International Criminal Court (ICC) case. The ICC issue is not a PNU or an ODM issue. It is a national issue.

• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya is one nation. We are one people, we belong to one country and we need each other. That is the most important thing. The Party Leader of ODM, the Rt. hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, has consistently tried very hard to show the right way for us to move as a nation if we want to help our six brothers. That has not changed.

• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: We have to speak the truth and stop playing little political games that we are playing in this House and in this country because they will take this country nowhere. We have so much personal interest in this country that overrides all the national interest. As long as when we stand here as leaders, we only think about ourselves, we are doomed to fail. I do not even think we will go anywhere with the implementation of the Constitution. There are many laws that we need to put in place and we do not have much time. But until and ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell this House what the Government is doing to make sure that there are enough drugs at Siaya District Hospital? As we speak now, there are no drugs there, but when you go to local chemists, you find the drugs there. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that all district hospitals, including Siaya District Hospital, have sufficient drugs? view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm to the House how much money the Ministry budgeted for poverty eradication in this country. Out of what was budgeted for, how much money was actually allocated by the Ministry? view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to tell this House that the shortage for the aviation professionals is because of the demand for the personnel internationally and yet we know for sure we have qualified people but they are leaving the country simply because they are being paid very poorly? view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to conclude his answer without telling us the position and the situation of our dogs in the areas where the Chinese contractors work? view
