• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me add my voice in congratulating Dr. Monda for doing what he has done. Cancer is now the usual killer. I want to urge the Minister, the case being that both Ministers concerned with issues of health are victims of cancer, to do everything within their power including sourcing for funding from outside this country so that we can, at least, try to reverse the deadly trend of cancer. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point order to ask the hon. Member opposing the Bill to declare his interest. This is an opportunity for him to make concrete proposals, so that we can stop the trend of mayhem and deaths on our roads. His contributions need to be a bit more constructive and suggestive on the way forward. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member has said that the Bill does not prescribe for motor cycles to carry insurance.

• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me join you and the rest of the hon. Members in passing my utmost condolences to the families of hon. George Saitoti and hon. Orwa Ojode. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is, indeed, a tragedy. As you are aware, I am very passionate and have been appalled by the rate at which we are losing innocent Kenyans through accidents. It is not only the two hon. Members, but there are other four members whose lives have been lost. I think as a country we must pull together and seek solutions to the trend of accidents. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. What is happening is not a good thing. Why is it that teachers must always agitate to get what is their right? Let me plead with the Government and the Treasury to release this money, so that these people are paid. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is not a single week that I go home and I am not asked a question by a teacher who is aggrieved, because they are not getting their retirement money. There is something which we also want to urge the Ministry to sort out; there is a team of unscrupulous lawyers who have sprung up across the country, and collect signatures of these teachers and Kshs10,000 or Kshs12,000 from every teacher, on the promise that they are going to have this money released. It is high time the Government made a statement that this payment ... view
