• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to be clear on that particular matter. We should confine ourselves to the Bill at hand and not twin it with other matters. I respect the views of the hon. Member and he is in order to make such a clarification. When you look at the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, you will see that there are very important matters that will require urgent attention. This law will provide a budget for two months. The issue of drug abuse needs to be tackled through some money from the Office of the President. This is one area ... view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every Ministry prepares a mini-budget and itemises all the things that are required. So, I am happy to support this Bill and ask all hon. Members to expeditiously pass it, so that we can develop our country. view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to allege that a Government Ministry can grab land from a citizen? Could hon. Muiruri withdraw that allegation? view
