• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: But I want to say that we are doing everything possible to deal with the problem of prison staff houses. I can bring a report six months down the line to indicate how many houses we will have put up because it is a matter that we are taking very seriously. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can let out a secret here; that the hon.

• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the first question by the hon. Member, the Ministry is not in a position to reimburse the Kshs50 million, but most of those coffee factories have insurance covers.

We have also advised the factories to hire guards and ... view

If anybody is caught having bought stolen coffee from thieves, his or her licence will be withdrawn. view
