• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of cheating using mobile phones, there is a feature on a mobile handset, which is either turned on or off by the owner of the handset. This feature can also be activated by a mobile phone operator. An operator can have a card in his network with that kind of feature.

So, this is not something which can be relied upon by ... view

• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Minister to make sure that this time, all the architectural drawings will have toilets, doors, conference rooms, among other facilities.

It should provide proper information such as the usage of V-SAT network and landlines. Our Ambassador in Egypt was at the airport to meet with the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs and it was also not possible to reach him by mobile phone. As I speak, I am sure Kenyans in Egypt are stranded. There is no food in Egypt. Even when we were ... view
