• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have one Government and I know that universities are under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology. In exercising their power as a Government, after punishing the relevant Vice-Chancellors who allowed these students to be admitted when they did not qualify for those courses, could they agree amongst themselves to bring in bridging courses for these Kenyans who have had to go through the university education and are now rendered redundant because of the mistake by the universities? view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the words of the Minister this afternoon, I want to remind him that we had entered into an agreement with him earlier this year which was not honoured. So, I hope this time he will honour what he is saying today and make sure that this money is used before 14th and not freeze the accounts by 31st. view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice to the many speakers who have supported this Bill. We understand the role of the CDF to our communities.

• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: sheds, sugar factories and even the flower farms. What is he doing to ensure that these people are captured in their stations and farms before the expiry of the date? view

• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his answer to part (a) of the Question, the Minister said that the Ministry discovered that there were some defects with the ponds. I would like to know what role the Ministry played during the feasibility study before the Italian Government started constructing these ponds. view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is saddening for the Minister to say that somebody from outside can just come and start a project here.
