• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, following meetings with a number of stakeholders such as the Association of Local Government Authorities of Kenya (ALGAK) and the Kenya Alliance of Residents Associations (KARA) sometimes last year, there arose a need for this Committee to pay a visit to the City Council of Nairobi to familiarise itself with issues of operation, because, what was coming out in our meetings was that there was serious laxity and inefficiency at the City Council of Nairobi. Further, there was rampant corruption and the repressive Cap.265 of the Local Authorities Act was weighing down the operations of ... view

• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. When we visited the City Hall, after having a meeting with the councilors, we realised that there was a serious need for this monster called Cap.265 to be amended.

• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having listened very carefully to the answer given by the Assistant Minister, there is a serious contradiction. He has said very clearly that the PMG was condoning theft by servant. This is a very serious allegation, although he has not told us how many employees have been taken to court for prosecution. It is a serious matter--- view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think it is very unfortunate for the Assistant to pass a verdict that the said police officer was a criminal, yet the court found him not guilty. view
