• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a lot of money which is owed to farmers.

• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when Mr. Katuku was appointed to that Ministry, given that he comes from an area which does not have a lot of water and even sewage, we thought that he would be very effective. The Government has taken five years to address an issue which is so important. Could the Minister confirm that by the beginning of next month, the works will have commenced and the same will be done in other towns including Keroka, Gucha and Nyamira? view

When you travel around this country and if, for example, you drive at night, you will find a policeman at 2 o'clock or 3 o'clock in the morning, persevering the cold and the wind that blows at that time of the night, when most of us are deep in our sleep.

• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know how human beings are brought into this world. You must have two people, mainly at night when they can bring them to this world. I am saying that the policemen should be paid well and their risk assurance be taken care of. Their families should be taken care of in terms of medical cover. view

• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: and other organized gangs all over the country! These groups are formed because the youth have no place to apply their energies and education.

• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us whether they have informed all Government departments about the new districts? Over the weekend, I found out that recruitment of teachers was being done under the same old districts, including some which had been cancelled by the High Court. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether they have informed all the Government departments so that they can include them in their programmes? view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir.

Is he telling us that the Ministry of Education is opposed to the creation of new districts? view
• 17 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute on this very important Vote. From the outset, I would like to commend the Ministry.
