• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stand here, I was shocked when I heard the Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs, who is also the Leader of Government Business, say that we are tired. He also said that there is a lot of Business that has not been carried out by this House. I thought it is the business of the Leader of Government Business, together with the Government, August 16, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3265 to bring business here, and not hon. Members! That does not hold any water, despite the fact that, I am in this Government. ... view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is my considered opinion that this Government should be kept in office until its term is over.

• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Member has said very clearly that he did not mention anybody.

• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues who have already lauded the Minister for Finance for presenting the Printed Estimates for the year 2007/2008. The Minister allocated a lot of money to the Ministry of Education, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and Ministry of State for Defence. This money has been allocated to give services to Kenyans. Looking at the Ministry of Education, a lot of money has been allocated under the Recurrent Expenditure; about Kshs96 billion. But my concern, as the representative of the people of Mt. Elgon, is that this ... view

The people of Mt. Elgon are asking: "Where is the Government? Why are we being asked to pay protection fees?" The group is asking as much as Kshs70,000 from those who are ... view
