It is high time these two Ministries sat down together and consider how they are going to feed Kenyans. At the moment, a majority of Kenyans are facing severe hunger. During this recess, the two Ministers should get out of Nairobi and visit the affected areas to have first hand information on how these Kenyans are suffering. view

• 18 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, Narok South is fully represented by a Member elected by the people of Narok. If the Petition was to be raised, it will have to be raised through the hon. Member.

• 16 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister did a wonderful job, first of all, by removing all the wastage in the Government. He has addressed issues of telephone, hospitality, furniture and vehicles. If you heard him speak on that particular day, he said that he consulted the President and the Prime Minister, and they agreed that each Minister should have only one official car of engine capacity not exceeding 1,800 cubic centimeters.
