• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. However, I want to say that something is not adding up. A scenario where a Ministry is view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister clarify to us whether it concerns him that the funds which he plans for, whether they are the CDF, Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEDF) or the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) are banked in commercial banks that charge Kenyans commercial rates as opposed to the one or two per cent rates proposed by his Ministry? view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. First of all, I want to thank the Minister for trying in the last one-and-a-half years, to re- invigorate the tourism sector. It is unfortunate though that this should be a co-ordinating Ministry to many other Ministries, which my colleagues have alluded to, particularly wildlife and others that have got to do with natural resources.

• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the House in the resolution. This is an important Vote. I would like to tell the Minister and his team that the country and MPs are very thankful for the infrastructure funds. However, there is a problem brewing in the country over infrastructure funds. On the ground, this money is transferred directly to the accounts of the schools. From the DEO’s office to Works Officers office, this transaction has elicited massive corruption. We must find a formula. This country is in the process of internalising the issue of CDF. We ... view
• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not opening debate. I am only saying where you send Kshs740,000--- As an MP I have gone to several schools and they say they have only received Kshs700. That is what the teachers tell me.
