• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to apologise to the Member for Kikuyu for the fact that he has not received the signed copy of the reply to this Question. That being the case, I wonder whether he would indulge me because I am ready to answer the Question. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the information I have is that this Question has been re-directed to the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. So, perhaps, the Chair might feel persuaded to defer the Question to allow the Minister to deal with it. view

• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been having consultations with Mr. N.

Under those circumstances, we were in agreement that this matter could be given another two weeks to enable the Attorney-General to comprehensively respond to the letter that I have written to him. view
