• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: current financial year. The Board is in place, while the process of recruiting the Chief Executive Officer and other staff members for the day-to-day running of the CDA is ongoing. So, I believe that this entity will be fully operational within the current financial year. view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to appeal to you to let me make a point because all the questions and comments are from the other side of the House. Could I have a chance? view

Maize crop attracts very little income. As a result, the council is forced to collect levies from matatus and bus owners and this raises the cost of transport. I am appealing to the Government to sympathise with the councillors, who have been elected just like the Members.
