• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Order Members! Assistant Minister, I regret that we are not able to raise quorum.

• 14 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given that we have done away with the Provincial Administration as a unit of governance, is it in order for the Minister to answer the Question by giving figures of provinces instead of counties? view

• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Ministry is quite notorious in dealings that are not in the public interest. It is one Ministry that has the largest number of parastatals. You notice that this is known as the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). When the Assistant Minister was answering part “c” of the Question, he said that they have no intention of disbanding it. Could he tell us how this ERC was established? Could he also tell us if there was any public participation, or if the law relating to the creation of commissions was followed? How was it staffed? view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are asking for specifics. The practice where you would close, on weekends, certain short sections of roads and markets and make them available for hawking at reduced rates was the original plan for Nairobi; it was to affect Mama Ngina Street, which used to be called Queensway Street, and other areas around the CBD. What specific plans has the Ministry taken to implement that project, which was designed to help the poorest of Nairobi residents? That is what we want to know rather than his generalized statements about one programme having been overtaken by another one. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given that the Pensions Department is another department of Government, could he also, as he gives that undertaking assure and undertake to this House that he will not come back here and say that the matter is now in another Ministry which is handling it and that, in fact, that money will be paid because we know what happens? They will come and say that they are now a department of Government in the Treasury and their hands are tied. Can he give that undertaking that that will not be the answer ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have an interest in this matter because my own sister-in-law was affected by this retrenchment. I know that before the former employees of Telkom Kenya Limited were sent home on retrenchment, an agreement was reached, and part of that agreement was that Telkom Kenya Limited would actually make a payment equivalent to the Kshs51 million that the Assistant Minister has referred to, to cushion the retrenchees from losing any of their benefits. Why did Telkom Kenya Limited not deposit this money as per the agreement they had reached with those who were affected by the retrenchment? view

• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whoever it is from the Government who rises to give that Ministerial Statement, given that the burial for these unfortunate Kenyans is scheduled for Monday, if it can be given tomorrow and the Government can undertake to meet the expenses of the funeral that is going to take place on Monday rather than wait for the Statement to come after the funeral because these are poor people who have been affected by this massacre. Since the funeral is for Monday, there should view
