• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am impressed by the way the Member has put his question. I am also aware that he is interrogating the same through his Committee. We are into the final end of discussions with the African Development Bank which is going to fund us to do the road from Mwatate to Taveta.

• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what I have done wrong on that issue, but if it is wrong to pursue and plan for the construction of a road in an area, which I agree with him has not been minded for a long time, then I want to apologize to him because I have put a lot of effort to get that road done. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope we realize that we are off the Question which we were supposed to deal with on the Order Paper. It was out of my generosity that I was giving replies to questions which are not on the Order Paper. view
