What measures is the Assistant Minister taking to ensure that those important security roads are completed? When he says that they are under his docket, he has not answered my question.

• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last week, several requests for Ministerial Statements were not communicated to the relevant Ministries. This forced Members on this other side of the House to remind the Government that there were Ministerial Statements which had not been issued. Clearly, this Government has gone to sleep. It is clear that the Government is not taking its work seriously. Again, here is a Prime Minister who is not aware that he is supposed to issue a Ministerial Statement in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you promised this House that the sword of justice will ... view

• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: . We want to see subsidies being given to the common mwananchi . If the "haves" do not consider the plight of the common man, then let them know that the future of this country is bleak. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also listened to the Minister when he talked about the fruit processing plants which he intends to put up in several places. I was very pleased to hear him mention a district called Kitui where "yours truly" comes from. This is an area where mangoes, tomatoes, potatoes and many other fruits are found in abundance.

• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will appreciate that when a Question is asked, it is not only for the Questioner alone but for all Kenyans. According to the answer by the good Minister, he has said that the borders are well-defined but the fishermen do not understand them. How can the borders be well-defined yet the fishermen do not understand them? Could the Government come up with easier means of demarcating those borders, so that the fishermen can understand them? view
• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Time and again, you have insisted that the Business of the House must be taken very seriously. The Minister has been on the Floor time and again saying that, while you ruled that those Ministerial Statements should be brought today, she has been mis-advised that they should be issued on Tuesday. view
• 19 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, where is the problem? We still stand by your ruling that Business must be taken very seriously and you should give direction to that effect. view

• 12 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I, indeed, do respect your ruling. This House represents the interests of the Kenyan people. We are, but agents of the Kenyan people. The Kenyan people met yesterday and presented the people's Budget, which they wanted the Government to look at alongside the Budget which is to be presented today. Humbly, would I be in order to give the "people's Budget" to the Minister for Finance, so that he can look at it alongside his Budget? view
