• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister failed to get the gist of my question. The gist of my question is creating capacity at the local authorities' level and not at the Ministry's level. That is an area in this country which needs to be capacitated, so that the local authorities can implement the projects themselves. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister must agree with me that he is aware that most roads in the western part of this country are past tense; they are all gone. It now takes over 10 hours to go from Nairobi to Kisumu. Now there is a tendency to do spot patching. When it comes to specific areas like Nyanza, instead of using tarmac to repair tarmac, they use murram to repair tarmac. It is like repairing a piece of cloth with paper.

• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to contribute to this debate on the Appropriation Bill. It is a statutory requirement that the Minister comes to the House for approval by Parliament to spend some odd Kshs450 billion. I am glad to note that the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, the other day, presented us with the Elections Commission of Kenya (ECK) rules on the Presidential and Parliamentary elections and I hope that they will be followed. As we go for these elections, we hope that when we appropriate this money, the Government is not going to misuse the money ... view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that I only hope that some of these vehicles are not lying in a Minister's compound like we have been told--- view

• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am much obliged. Thank you for your advice. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know why the Minister wants to own this! But we know for a fact that a certain Government Minister either bought or had four of those 4WD vehicles parked in his compound. Those areas are occupied by people and they tell us! But we do not want to go into that right now. view
