• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I find it very strange for this Assistant Minister to continue talking the way he is doing. He is taking this issue very casually. As my colleague has said, this matter should be referred to the relevant Departmental Committee so that we can get more information. The military officers from both the USA and the UK come to this country as if we are living in a banana republic. They just walk in and out. One time, I witnessed them abuse an immigration officer at the JKIA and yet the Assistant ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. I would like to appreciate what the Prime Minister is telling us this afternoon. But, at the same time, I would like to say that we know the Government is up to a lot of good by constructing modern roads for Kenyans. I do not know whether any Government official has managed to travel along Thika Road to see what the people with businesses on that road are going through. In fact, the business people along that road are counting losses by the day because of dust. There are ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: The Chinese are laughing all the way to their bank. It is not fair to Kenyans. They could be laughing all the way to their banks but they are not giving us what we require. What I would like the Government to do is to make sure that the markings are visible. We know that there are markings that are internationally recognized. That is what they should follow all the time. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister inform this House how much time has been spent on this road, how much time is left before the work is finished, and how much money has been paid to the contractor so far? view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While on the same, I would request the House to look at the answers that the Assistant Minister has been giving to this House, because he does not seem to be serious with whatever answers he gives to this House. Day in, day out, he gives the same answer. He is behaving like an actor. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to thank the Assistant Minister for attempting to answer this Question. The reason why Kenyans continue paying more for imports into this country is because there are so many unnecessary bureaucratic stages that one has to go through before he clears his goods. Could the Assistant Minster consider things like direct access formula, under which the owner of a car can clear it and then come back later and talk about the charges? The Assistant Minister has said that the Government has no control over the private concessionaires that are all over the ... view

• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he could confirm that Kabati Police Station which serves a section of the busy and sometimes crime-prone Nairobi-Nyeri highway has not had a vehicle for over one year and that the OCPD, Murang’a South Police Division also does not have a vehicle; (b) whether he could further confirm that there is a relationship between the lack of vehicles for these officers and the increased crime levels in the area; and, (c) when the station and the OCPD will get vehicles. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for trying to answer this Question. But you understand that the area between Blue Post and Sagana is an insecurity prone zone. There are so many accidents and people have even lost their lives. The Assistant Minister has just confirmed that the OCPD does not have a vehicle. The vehicle that he says is in Kabati is not serviceable. It had a very serious accident and it has just been salvaged. It is not even mechanically supposed to be on the road. The Assistant Minister says that they are ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I still disagree with the Assistant Minister. How does he expect a whole OCPD to be on top of security when he is supposed to share a vehicle with an OCS in Makuyu, which is also a very busy area? He has to tell us what to do because the people of that area are not happy about the whole situation. That road is very dangerous and he knows about it. People have lost lives and something must be done. view
