• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank all those who supported this Motion starting with hon. Mwathi, hon. Njuguna, Bishop Wanjiru, hon. Shebesh, Eng. Maina, hon. Shakeel, hon. Nyambati, hon. Gabbow and finally, hon. Kilimo.

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The problem of hospitals not being taken care of is not only confined to Mbagathi Hospital. If you visit hospitals in Murang’a County, you find that most of them are in deplorable conditions and leave a lot to be desired. They have not had a coat of paint for a long time. What has the Assistant Minister done to make sure that they are properly maintained? view
