• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Thursday, last week, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education, and the Deputy Leader of Government Business gave an assurance to this House that the Minister would deliver the Ministerial Statement by yesterday.

• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister whether they have a comprehensive roads work program for the whole country which can be availed to hon.

• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to support my colleague, Dr. Bonnie Khalwale, for bringing this good Bill.

• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the comprehensive answer from the Minister, illicit brews in Central Kenya, not only in Kirinyaga, are a menace. What is the Ministry doing? In my district, for example, we do not have a District Commissioner at the moment. However, we know some of the dens but it appears the Ministry does not have enough personnel to address the people who produce the illicit brews. What is the Minister doing to make sure that in conjunction with the local leaders we are able to go round and wipe out all the illicit brews dens? view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Minister say that the arrest of 72 people who prepared this illicit brew is not a small number. I would like to bring to your attention that there is a place called Ngomongo in my constituency, where if we go now, we can arrest more than 100 brewers because they do it in the open. I have tried to pursue it with the District Commissioner (DC) and I am almost giving up. What will the Ministry do about this? view
