• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday afternoon the Assistant Minister, Office of the President, Mr. Munya, was to issue a Ministerial Statement which I had asked for. Since we ran out of time because it was a Supply Day, he promised that he would do so, today. view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. However, is he aware that, that Ministerial Statement is full of falsehoods?

When the police discovered that the man was badly beaten, they threw him out of the Land Rover and left him for dead! Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I support the police effort to fight crime, I do not support unnecessary harassment of people in the name of Mungiki, ... view

• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for what he has said, is he aware that on 24th January, 2003, there was a court order for the two organisations to appoint professional and qualified auditors to mediate and have the assets and liabilities divided between them, so that those wrangles can come to an end?

• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, all the hon. Members who spoke on this particular subject spoke very positively. I am sure their contributions will be very useful to those Ministries which are responsible for tourism. It is unfortunate that nobody from the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife was present in this House to hear what hon. Members were talking about. The second major topic was the issue of small arms, light weapons and sustainable development. We all agree that the influx of small arms and light weapons to our country has contributed to a lot of economic destruction; destruction of ... view
