• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the hon.

• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: First, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our Minister. Since we were appointed to that Ministry, we have not stayed in the office. Last season, for example, we went to every division of Rift Valley doing a sensitization campaign to make the people aware that rain was coming and also giving vouchers to those who qualify. Since then, we have not settled. I would like to congratulate and thank him for very good leadership in the Ministry. view
