• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Arising from hon. Khalwale’s point of order and the answer given by the Assistant Minister, it is clear that the answer to part “b” of the Question is not complete in the sense that it does not encompass the amount of money that the Government has spent.

• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his answer the hon. Assistant Minister says that he is not aware about such a circular. I would like to table before the House the circular that I am referring to. view

• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: “Office of the President: Government Support to Kenya Airways and Buying of Tickets Directly from Kenya Airways Kenya Airways has requested me to bring to the attention of Government Ministries and parastatals that procuring tickets directly from Kenya Airways is more cost effective. Furthermore, the management of the Kenya Airways has committed itself to offering attractive discounts to Government Ministries and parastatals when the tickets are sourced directly. You are also advised that the Government and parastatals should accord priority to national careers whenever they are travelling abroad.” view
