• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Member does not know how serious it is! She does not know how serious it is to ask a man whether he is gay or not! Does she know what it means for a man to be gay? I am very bitter about this and I think it is wrong for such questions to be asked. What do you tell your wife and children when you get home? It is not fair! Let us be people of dignity and put across questions that are reasonable and good to the people of Kenya. Let us ask ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The status of the projects being undertaken by the KVDA within the larger Keiyo District and the budgetted cost of each project is as follows:- The list is too long.

• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Okay. I will do that. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the said projects are being implemented and are on schedule. Most of them have been completed. The few that are on-going will be completed by the end of June, 2011. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that some dams have not been surveyed. But we now have got the money to survey all the dams that were supposed to be surveyed. I am sure that, before the end of this financial year, all of them will be surveyed. We shall include them in our next financial year so that the construction can begin. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that secondary school should have been constructed by now. But I request the hon. Member to talk to the hon. Member for West Pokot and agree. That is because they are fighting amongst themselves and we have not been able to build that school. Each one of them is saying that it should be built in his area and none of them knows where the border is. So, let them talk. We are ready to develop that area. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not talking about constituencies; I am talking about counties, that is Turkana and West Pokot. You must be aware that there have always been conflicts of boundaries. The boundaries in that area are usually imaginary. So, I am asking the leaders in that area to agree and tell us where we can build that secondary school because the money is already there. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ready to do that immediately. I will talk to the leaders concerned because they are always around here. So, they can organize their local leaders so that we can meet and agree on where the school will be built. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are cases where we have had problems with contractors but the moment the money is allocated to the Regional Development Authorities, it is never returned to Treasury. So, those projects will definitely be finished. I am going to follow up the issue personally to make sure that they are done. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute on the Presidential Address. I went through the Address and, as usual, the President has given a very good Address. However, my problem has been that after that Address has been given, the officers who are supposed to implement it, hardly do it. This has been a very big problem. If the President gives a good Address and then there is no follow up, then there is a big problem. view
