• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is extremely anxious to issue that Statement and he is in the House! view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last time this Question came up, the hon. Minister alleged that some politicians dream and come up with IDPs list and say that those are genuine IDPs. I wish to request that the hon. Minister withdraws that statement because no hon. Member of Parliament here can dream and come up with a list of IDPs. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, she has already admitted that these people are IDPs by compensating 13 of them. She says 23 of them are genuine IDPs. I am wondering on what basis the Minister can say some people are IDPs while others are not. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Finally, there is Nyayo Tea Zone next to these people who are landless and it was actually envisaged that these IDPs would be settled there. Madam Minister, what will you do to ensure that these IDPs are allocated that land? view

• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: I, therefore, wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister regarding why the contract of Mr. Mwangi should not be extended. We have already seen the saga of Ministers wishing to appoint their kinsmen to senior positions. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a serious matter to the country. The issue of the dollar strength is not just a matter of chance. It is a matter of the American Government taking some decisions on whether they want more exports or more imports. In this country, we have people who survive on this dollar business. For example, most of us are tea and coffee farmers. All these depend on the dollar. It is, therefore, unfair to expect these farmers to be oscillating as if they are in a casino. What measures can the Assistant Minister undertake to confirm ... view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill has become necessary due to the undesired situation in this country, where the cost of essential commodities has sky-rocketed beyond the common man’s reach.
