• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you must have seen about a week or so, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security issue a statement that they had written to the American Embassy to get proper information on this allegation. According to our own investigation, Mr. Mwau was cleared. However, they are insisting that he is involved in drug dealing. So, the PS for Provincial Administration and Internal Security had already indicated that he wrote to the Americans to demand a proper explanation. In the meantime, I shall make sure that I see the Minister ... view

• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Well, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know where the Minister is. He could be out of the country.

Mwau is provided with security as from today. view

• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have assured this House that for security, I will do so immediately. Hon. Members know me as a man of action.

• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: very much for what it did. These three names that have been brought here by the Committee have gone through a number of processes. They even went to the President and the Prime Minister who approved them before they went to this Committee. The only thing I am concerned about is the way the vetting is done.
