• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to fail to answer the specific question asked by the Member for Naivasha? That is payment for services rendered - for water supplied to the Director of Water Services. The monies the Minister claims is supporting the water company are monies voted by this House for that specific purpose. Is she in order to fail to answer the question and, by extension, kill her own water companies? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is quite clear that this is a problem of poor planning. Although this also could be done at the local level, could the Assistant Minister undertake through his officers, to ensure that these concerns are raised with Mudete Tea Factory and the KTDA to see how they can assist them to streamline their operations so that the farmers are not punished? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Statement, the Assistant Minister has indicated that there is no evidence to show political motive yet he admits that Mr. Lokulale did indicate political motive.

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know what the Assistant Minister calls good condition because I was recently on the Ortum-Sigor- Lomut Road and in some of the places where there are lagers, there was no concrete on the road. When it rains, it becomes impossible to pass. We have been talking about marginalization of ASAL areas and West Pokot and Turkana are part of those areas.
