• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Tourism:- (a) what concrete tourism marketing strategies the Ministry is employing to promote the upcoming Kisumu International Airport as a destination of choice for local and international tourists; (b) what steps the Ministry is taking, in liaison with the Ministry of National Heritage and Culture, to ensure that the burial site of Okore Ogonda, the ancestral hero of the Kogony clan next to the airport, is converted into a shrine; and, (c) how else the Ministry is engaging the local tourism industry players, so that Kisumu and the surrounding areas of the Western Tourism Circuit make ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer by the Assistant Minster seems to imply that extreme marketing measures are being undertaken with the international media. What about regional and domestic tourism markets? In that regard, therefore, what steps is the Ministry taking to ensure that actually the Ministry of State for National Heritage liaises with the Ministry of Tourism to look into the factors that surround the death of the late Okore Ogonda and how his burial site can become a shrine? view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Assistant Minister has said that opening of the airport is going to ease access to the whole region, which is true. She also says the Ministry of Tourism is engaging local tourism industry players by financing tourism facilities through loans from the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and funding of community-based tourism projects. However, the complaints of the local people is that those who are being financed are not from the region. Could she kindly table before the House the identities of the persons who have been financed through the Kenya Tourism Development Corporation, or who ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister had earlier on indicated that she would be willing to have me accompany her team to the shrine of the late Okore Ogonda. Is it in order for me to tell her that I am ready and available to do that? view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the same issue of proper dressing in the House, in my humble view, as much as hon. Mbuvi’s dressing could be proper outside on the streets, it is clearly not proper in the House. You will recall that earlier in this Parliament, I came one afternoon dressed in an advocate’s collar, gown and flaps. I thought that, that was proper dressing for this House as a lawmaking organ, but the Speaker made a ruling that I was not properly dressed. Clearly, this dressing, even if it is an emerging trend, is in my view, not ... view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad that Mr. Mudavadi has conceded bravely that there are challenges in the implementation of this project from the Ministry. Part of the challenge is dishonesty by some senior officers in the Ministry who after tenders have been awarded properly also award tenders to their friends thereby causing view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: conflict. To that extent, it is not just Konoin, or Cherangany - Kisumu Town West is actually affected and I feel very frustrated. What is the Minister doing about double award of tenders by his Ministry officials with regard to Kibuye Market Fresh Produce? view

• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am disturbed by the Assistant Minister’s answer to part “b” of this Question, where a pregnant lady and her husband were killed. In the answer, he says that one suspect has been arrested and an inquest file has also been opened. This thing took place ten days ago. The Assistant Minister knows, or ought to know, that inquest files are opened by the police only where suspects are not known. In this case, how come a suspect is under arrest and an inquest file opened at the same time? view
