• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Fair enough, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me leave that aside and talk about what is happening at the Nairobi City Council (NCC). We have a Town Clerk by the name Mr. John Gakuo. He is a good Kenyan who deserves a medal. Lately, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) went after Mr. Gakuo over corruption allegations.

The Margaryans are now saying they are coming back, and yet they have not been to any court. view

• 27 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on the President's Speech. First of all, there were several omissions from that Speech. I gather that the issues of corruption, tribalism, insecurity and issues of finance and were deliberately omitted by the President because they would elicit truthful and negative debate on the performance of this Government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President did not talk about some issues which, personally, I think that with a little bit of more information, it would have been very good for this country. As a Member of ... view
