6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
I raised the issue of maize prices and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government has not referred to it. Any country which is threatened with a catastrophe of this nature, the first line of defense would be to ensure that the farmers are able to give out the crop and all the food is secured by the Government. What price will the Government be offering to ensure that we secure the grains presently in the hands of the farmers?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education on the fate of school leavers whose certificates are being held by school heads due to arrears owed by former students despite the directive from the Ministry earlier that the same should be released.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised from the Ministerâs answer that supposedly, there are no IDPs still in Trans Nzoia yet we have IDPs in areas like Muroki, Gituamba and others. There is no land, from her list, that has been purchased in Trans Nzoia for the settlement of IDPs. Could the Minister confirm that there are still IDPs in Trans Nzoia and there is enough land to be purchased for settlement of IDPs?

5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister, in his statement, to clarify whether or not this is not an attempt to return the country to the dark days, when lecturers or university staff were intimidated against joining or leading the University Academic Staff Union (UASU) or other Associations, in total violation of their constitutional rights of freedom of association, expression and choice.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to support the Motion for Adjournment. As we go on recess, I am very proud to be a Member of this House, particularly because of what happened yesterday. We have a category of Kenyans who are forgotten and this House became the voice of the voiceless. Those are Kenyans with albinism. Recently, we heard the story of a young man who moved from Kitale with a friend, all the way to Mwanza, Tanzania, and who was saved by the Tanzanian police from being killed and dismembered. Yesterday, their petition was granted by this ...

1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly:
I want to thank the House and yourself for giving directions before we went on recess last time, that petitions should be handled in an expeditious manner â that is within 21 days. The petition that I filed on behalf of the Albinism Society of Kenya was disposed of yesterday. The petition by squatters that was brought by Dr. Khalwale is still pending. It is supposed to be disposed of within 21 days. I hope it will also be disposed of. As we return from recess, we hope that, that will be done so that the squatters of Trans Nzoia, ...

I also join other Kenyans in congratulating David Rudisha who set new records within a short time and made Kenya proud on the world map. I also congratulate Kenyans for passing one of the most democratic Constitutions on the continent of Africa. I also congratulate Kenyans for carrying out a census to world standards, apart from the problem in the North. I hope that will be done.
