• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you must protect the interests of the farmer. I have just proved beyond any reasonable doubt as to why I put in place this professional board. I was dissatisfied. In fact, last week they praised me, they supported me after finding out the truth, because of the way the MD was treating the board. The board did not have access to a lot of information. Very few people in the board, one or two, knew what was going on. So, the board is very angry. In fact, let him apply; the board is very knowledgeable and it ... view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the truth hurts! I am not a lawyer. I am paid to tell the truth and I have said nothing but the truth. If you want me to take this matter further, I will take it further and produce more documents to support what I am saying. view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think there is a problem. I want the KCC not to produce half a billion but a billion shillings in profits because it is capable. That is possible, it can be done and will be done. So, the hon. Member wants me to be stuck at half a billion shillings which sounds a lot but it is not a lot? I am sorry, this is not good. Am I, as a Minister, expected to approve and support mediocrity when I know what the results should be? That is my problem. I have spoken the way I ... view
• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the principle of collective responsibility, I am waiting for the Minister to come and answer this important Question! view

• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I came in late and I apologize. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to also add my voice by supporting the Vote of this very important Ministry. As we all know, the Ministry of Trade is very key in any economy. In fact, if you look at countries like Japan, the Ministry of Trade plays a very key role. It is one that is seen and recognized by all, as the driver of the economy. Without a strong Ministry of Trade and its allied Ministry of Industry and so on, any ... view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, recently, I watched a film called “In My Genes”, and it taught me a great deal. I did not know anything about this subject. That film has really helped us. It is for that reason that every Kenyan should watch that film. It is for that reason that I fully support this petition. view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks ago, the MP for Ikolomani asked me to make the report on the Pyramid Scheme Task Force available to Parliament. At the time, I explained it was difficult for me to do so although I had released it to Kenyans; since then I had been served with a court order. Therefore, I could not table it here. I was scared of presenting it and being arrested. However, last week, the Speaker gave direction that I could do it. I am ready to present the document now. Between 2006 and 2007, many Kenyans lost ... view

• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was very satisfied with the initiative of the private people. So, I see the Report that was done by Nyenze Task Force and the other one as complementary. As our people proceeded, it became clear that there was need for further investigations which that report would be part of. That is why we then had to open our own register using our offices. In the four week period or so, we recorded Kshs8.2 billion. We know many people were afraid or were not sure, but now they are coming forward now that they have ... view
