• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (c) how many similar cases are pending at the Pensions Department and what measures he is taking to clear such cases expeditiously. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I asked part “a” of the Question because for many years, even before I became an hon. Member of Parliament, I used to represent many widows from Karachuonyo whose pensions could not be paid and, eventually, they got to be paid. That is why I said so. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had documents here which indicate that the widows have agreed and accepted that they received the payments of Kshs15,000 for succeeding months. However, the lump sum amount of money that is being talked about here was not paid to them and the latest investigation and according to the letter from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), on January 25th 2012 the money was paid to someone else.

• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I kindly asked the Assistant Minister to give us a timestamp when this matter will be settled, so that I can inform the widows. That is because they are going to investigate. I know that the Government system will take forever. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support my colleague, hon. Mbadi. The grievances of KBC have not been taken seriously by the Government. First of all, KBC is employing far too many individuals as there are many Kenyans who really need jobs.

• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the Kshs2 billion which was destined for REA is still in KPLC. However, the Minister for Finance refused to give this money directly to REA saying that he has already talked to the Ministry to find some other ways of funding REA. Recently he came to tell us that he has already found an external source to give REA the Kshs2 billion. Until to date, the REA has not completed all of their rural electrification programmes as they had promised. view
