• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister address the real issues? The reason why he is not opening that bank is because of foreign forces. It is just because the former American ambassador said that the bank cannot be opened. It is not because of anything beyond that. The bank is very solvent. The money is there and the problem has nothing to do with the running of the bank. It is just because this Government is controlled by foreign powers. That is the reason why they are trying to intimidate an indigenous bank, so that the foreign banks can ... view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just want a clarification now that Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona has just said she has passed over her amendments. She says she is trying to locate them. I would like to know whether, indeed, before we move on to the Committee amendments, you will give us directions on her amendments. It is critical that we dispose of them. view

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Transport what plans the Ministry has to upgrade Ithookwe Airstrip in Kitui County in view of the large number of air travelers to the county? view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as usual, the hon. Minister does not take his work very seriously. He has already passed over to me a one sentence. Even if he did not have the actual answer, he would have memorized it. In the answer, just to help him, he says he has no plans to upgrade the said airstrip. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important to give him time to go and organize himself and to take the matters of this House seriously in order to come with an answer that befits the dignity of this House and this new Chamber. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just as I alluded before, I would expect the Minister to be serious because this airstrip is the only one in Kitui County.
