• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Minister for the answer, but I want to ask what policy she has in building boreholes in constituencies. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks ago, I requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs--- view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the Statement but unfortunately as a Kenyan, the Statement sounds to me more like a justification of why Sally Pearson won and not Vivian Cheruiyot. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indulge me just for a moment to tell you the story of these two girls. Sally Pearson is an Australian athlete and she won the 100 metres women’s title at Daegu, South Korea this year. As the Assistant Minister said, Sally Pearson has only run the fourth fastest time in this event. On the other hand, Vivian ... view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is in regard to a Statement I requested from the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports. It should have been delivered yesterday, but you directed that it should be delivered today. view

This Statement was supposed to have been made in this House on Tuesday, but Mr. Speaker, Sir, you ruled that it should be made today. I think it is inexcusable that the Minister can come here and say that he is not aware. It is inexcusable! view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you may know from the way I framed my statement, this matter is very passionate to me. Unfortunately, tomorrow I have engagements in the constituency and I would request that he brings it on Tuesday because I would really wish to interrogate it. view

• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Mover, the Seconder and the Mover of the amendment to this Motion. I stand to support the Motion as amended. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: As has been said by speakers before me, this country does not have a rain deficit. It is estimated that on average, Kenya receives nearly 1,500 millimetres of rainfall per year. I have said here before that if we have to have capacity to harvest just one per cent of that rainfall, considering the total land mass of Kenya of about 580,000 square kilometres, every Kenyan today, with our estimated population of 40 million people, would be guaranteed over 500 litres of water per day, which is more than 10 times the average daily requirement for human needs. view
