I said very clearly that the lady stayed with her daughter and later on went to visit her son. After that, she disappeared. She was being taken to her relatives so that she could remove the title deed which the brother-in-law wants to take from her by force. “By force” means without negotiating.

• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of when should not arise as at now. This is because I have to first arrest the fellows who abducted this lady. They will then be taken to court. So, I cannot give a time frame; it could even be tonight or tomorrow morning.

• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, my colleague is travelling all the way from Samburu. He will be here by Thursday. So, I am only requesting the hon.

• 10 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It seems that we are in agreement that we pass this Bill. There is no need of repeating ourselves. Would I be in order to call upon the mover of the Motion to reply? view
