• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, where there is a contract, there must be laws which govern it. The issue is very clear. There is a law that must be followed to make sure that the KPLC compensates if one is able to prove that they were liable. view

• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know you do not receive protection when you are in the wrong footing. Is the hon.

• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you have said, the hon. Member is responsible for his utterances.

We also have other two contractors, the Kapataru and the KEC in other regions. I want to inform hon. Members that also in my own constituency, there is an area called Tigithi, ... view
