• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the same spot has had very serious accidents. For example, in November, we lost 11 lives of grown up mothers from Embakasi, who were in charge of their families. In fact, five years ago, on the same spot, there was another very serious accident where 40 lives were lost. The Ministry has not done anything to make sure that, that spot can be identified at night. What clear policy does the Ministry have to deal with black spots? view

I expect that in a case where lives have been lost on the same spot, bumps could have been put. I am asking the Assistant Minister to be clear enough, because lives have been lost--- view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Actually, Mr. Speaker, Sir, initially, I meant Gatanga. Maybe, there was some misspelling in typing. If there is a small mistake--- I do not come from the area. I can be excused for that! view

In fact, some councillors go out through the back door when they see people coming for some help in their houses. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allowances for councillors should be paid from the Consolidated Fund. This is going to eliminate the tension between councillors and workers. Sometimes councillors are paid on time but the salaries for workers is delayed. In fact, during the time that workers are not paid and councillors are paid, the councillors do not come to, say, City Hall. That tension will be eliminated by paying councillors from the Consolidated Fund. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are many problems facing councillors. The only way to solve these problems is to overhaul the whole of CAP.265 which governs local authorities. Ja nuary 21, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I would like to thank the Almighty God for having seen us through the whole of this year. The reconciliation spirit in the country has increased so much. It is my sincere hope that Members of Parliament who are going to their constituencies will encourage their people to be more accommodating. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker and Members of the Chairman's Panel for the way they have served this House in a non-partisan way. I appreciate the fact that even though I am a ... view
• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sorry for not being aware of the fact that I had to get that consent and inform you but I have the consent and an interest in the Question because I suffer from the same problem. view
