• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wonder why the Assistant Minister is telling us that the investigations started at Homa Bay. I know that Mbita has an identify and should have its district headquarters at Mbita, unless he wants to further delay the process. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support. In so doing, I want to applaud the Members of this august House for standing up to defend the Constitution of this country. On that day, I am very sure hon.

Olago was making an allegation about the delay in payment of pensions. We are almost adjourning and yet the teachers have not been paid their pensions.

Could he assure this House that this will involve the increment in the number of years the pensioners will get this money? view
