• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry for coming late. I kindly request you to allow me to ask the first Question by Private Notice. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion. There are issues that the Mover raised. Most of those issues were not substantiated. This country has been facing drought almost every five to six years. In 1982 and 2002, we had drought. This year, we are also having famine. Can you attribute all those droughts to Mr. William Ruto? This is cyclical. The drought is there because we lack structures to prepare for, mitigate and manage droughts. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, issues were raised about middlemen who are buying maize. In most parts of this country including the region which I come from, North Horr Constituency, we do not have stores for NCPB or those that are run by the Government. Our people get maize through middlemen and that is true for most parts of this country. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On the issue of contracts being given to business associates, this issue was raised again and again, yet the Mover is yet to substantiate that the Minister gave contracts to his business associates. You cannot raise such substantive issues without proving beyond any reasonable doubt that actually, that is the case. To say the least, the Minister is a very hard working Government officer. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today, the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), where I once served as a director, will not be an ailing State corporation through the funds and loans that this Parliament will approve very soon. It will be one of the State corporations that will have enough funds to do what it was established to do by this Government! view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if there is anyone who has misled this House, it is Dr. Khalwale, when he argued here that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), in which I serve as a Member--- It is actually politics! As far as I know, and I am a Member - in fact a very active Member of that Committee - we have never had any substantive debate or audit of the maize saga. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if there is somebody who needs to be censured, it is Dr. Khalwale! view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when he mentioned names of widows who are working so hard to raise their families in this House--- view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we are going to bring dignity to this House and prove that we are leaders who are willing to take this country forward, let us discuss issues and the substance. If there is corruption, let us deal with it like men and women of honour. But let us not drag names of honourable individuals into such issues without any proper substantiation! view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: With these few remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose this Motion! view
