• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as stated earlier, we will issue a circular not only for cemetery land but also for any land that belongs to the council that is meant to be for public use. I would like to assure the Member for Kimilili that we will make sure that there is land also for cemeteries. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since we have already halted the exercise. I would like to ascertain that this land has been reserved for specific purposes.
