• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have checked with the Prime Minister’s Office and the secretary has mentioned that he will come before 3.30 p.m. I also indicated to the secretary that he should be here before 3.30 p.m. since we do not have Questions which will last up to that time. So, I just need to check with the secretary if he has already departed from the office. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have seen the two hon. Members stand at the same time.

• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of us here are not aware of the background to what actually happened on Saturday.

• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On the outset, I want our people to note that the police are doing a commendable job. The police are not sleeping in order for us to sleep. A number of detectives are not sleeping in order for Kenyans to sleep or go shopping freely within the streets of Nairobi. I wonder why some people bash the police. I have mentioned here that if we withdraw the services of police officers for just one hour, people within this country will not be free to move. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, we have refugee camps in Dadaab. Each of those three camps is supposed to hold 30,000 people. How many people are those camps holding as we speak? They are holding 500,000 people as opposed to holding 90,000 people. We have porous borders.
