6 May 2008 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The hon. Assistant Minister is evading the Question. We are not talking about salt or anything else which is a luxury. We are talking about the basic needs of Kenyans. We are talking about accessibility of food. If they cannot access food, they will die. The question the hon. Member is asking is: What interventions is the Assistant Minister taking to make sure that food is easily accessible to Kenyans? He should talk about subsidies and other things. He should talk about how the Government will intervene.

They are nomadic communities. Even if there was a border and a Turkana crosses over to Pokot, you will not take him ...

23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know why Maj. Sugow would want me to be gagged in this House. I support this Motion. It is important that we have fewer documents, and it is also important that we take into consideration the number of man-hours we use every time we have to go for these documents. We spend hundreds of man-hours and we lose so much. If that could be converted into capital, this country would be a First World country. But because we spend a lot of time in trying to get those documents, we are losing ...
