I have a strong attachment to this Ministry since I once served as the Minister for Local Government and, therefore, this Vote has my absolute support. This is a grassroots Ministry. It is a Ministry that has a substantial role.

• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to do the obvious which is to support the Motion. I am doing so because it is the obvious thing to do at this time. It is not strange for Parliament to adjourn in order to allow hon. Members an opportunity to go and consult more closely with their constituents in order to come back and represent them in a manner that they wish to be represented. It is even more compelling now that we almost lost our country called Kenya following the post-election violence. This country almost went into pieces. We came here ... view
• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter just as hon. Members, have said. It has denied the people of Wajir District the opportunity to survive.
