• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in areas where those machines are not available, we are using mobile scanners.

• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to inform the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government to give the Statement on Tuesday. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wanted to respond to a Ministerial Statement which was sought by Ms. Karua on 27th July. Apparently, she is not around. I, however, had promised the House that I would be able to give this Statement this morning. With the indulgence of the Chair, should I go ahead because it is property of the House or should I wait until Ms. Martha Karua comes in? view
