• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Budget Statement made by the Minister. In doing so, I would first of all like to say a few things about the fiscal policies that were spelt out in that Speech. There was, for instance, the zero-rating of VAT on wheat and maize flour.

I am sure if this proposal, and others, are translated into action, perhaps the effect will be felt by the Kenyan population, particulary the very poor. Madam ... view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a lot of water that could be used for irrigation purposes. Touching on the issue of land, the total allocation to this Ministry is Kshs2.3 billion, with Recurrent Expenditure getting the lion's share of Kshs1.66 billion and Development Expenditure getting only Kshs649 million.

• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me wind up, please! The parties would appear before them and after their judgement, they would file it in a court of law. The court of law would then carry on with the finalisation process. These days, the administrators are no longer operational and, therefore, there are more disputes than there were before. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view

I wish to take this opportunity to thank the two principals, His Excellency the President, Mr. Kibaki, and the Prime Minister- designate, Mr. Raila, for signing the National Peace Accord. It is, indeed, sad to imagine how this country would be by this time if--- view
• 13 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is part of the induction we are going through. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the two principal players namely; His Excellency the President, Mr. Kibaki, and the Prime Minister-designate, Mr. Raila, for signing the Peace Accord. Two days before the signing of the accord, when I was about to retire to bed, my daughter, who is a third year student here in Nairobi, brought me a book. That is something that surprised me, not because of the time, the size of the book or the colour. However, it was the ... view
