• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to plead with the Minister - who has been trying to do a good job - in the sense that the figures that were originally given indicated 454,100, while the census in 1999 indicated 450,860. So, obviously, granted that there is banditry and all that, we could not have grown for another decade by only 300 human beings. At an average growth rate, even on the national average, it is 2.5 per cent. view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I just want the Minister’s assurance, given the fact that they have undertaken to conduct a long-rains assessment although it is a misnomer.

• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the KKV programme but you have pointed out hon. Members on the basis of the Questions they asked, which are not necessarily related to the KKV. I plead that the eyes of the Speaker will catch every Member. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Prime Minister for that Statement, but it raises a number of issues. One, he is seeking for a partnership with the World Bank (WB). We know that World Bank’s money is not necessarily free. At what interest is the WB giving Kenya money? Two, according to the Act that formed the Office of the Prime Minister--- view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was listening as I was putting in more. That is because there is more. According to the Act that formed the Office of the Prime Minister, it specifically states that the Office of the Prime Minister is for co-ordination and supervision of Government Ministries.

Who will do the co-ordination when it is under your programme? view
