• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: The President raised quite a number of issues that will require the attention of this House for the time that we are here during the Fourth Session. The President mentioned the Constitution, corruption and the Judiciary, which are normal issues. I expected the President to really demonstrate to us how this country is bleeding. Once you can demonstrate the amount of blood that is bleeding from the animal known as Kenya, then you will go ahead and suggest how to fix it. The President quoted from the National Anthem: “Firm may we stand to defend”, and I cannot agree more ... view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I am not even going to comment on the Constitution. We will have the opportunity to talk about the Constitution starting tomorrow. The only thing I will agree with the President on is in his second last paragraph where he has demonstrated absolute confidence in this Parliament.

The Assistant Minister cannot be engaged in generalities without being specific. When you take 14 days to process, you need to take another 14 days to send the certificates back; you need another 14 days to send them from the view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: District Criminal Investigations Officers to the districts. What is so difficult, Mr. Assistant Minister, for you to ensure that these DCIOs acquire the same facilities, because there is no magic?
