• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know the Prime Minister is an engineer but when I heard him marvel in scientific issues of meteorology, I admired his skills. Anyway, I just want to tell him congratulations but what I want to ask is: When the NARC Government came to power in 2003, one of the key policies agitated for by that Government then was a law on disaster.

• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to remind the Prime Minister that he has not answered my question. view

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not received a copy of the written reply. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I must say that I am humbled by your kind words and high regard. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Will it be completed in two months, three months or in the next few weeks? view

Now that I have brought to the attention of the Ministry that Bura Irrigation Scheme--- The main canal feeding the irrigation scheme has cut off many of the villages such that people have to trek for more than 20 kilometres to get to the main road. view

• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to the Leader of Government Business, hon. Isaac Ruto is attending to a burial of his father-in-law and he had confided in me that he would be comfortable if this Ministerial Statement could be issued next week. I had shared the same with the Attorney-General (AG) because my perception was that the AG would deliver the Ministerial Statement. So, I kindly request that the hon. Member who requested for the Ministerial Statement will be comfortable if it comes up next week. view

The amendment that is being fronted by hon. Midiwo says; “not more than.” It does not say that a bank has to charge 4 per cent and above. So, when hon. Kimunya misleads this House into believing that the moment we pass this amendment, then all interest rates will go to 22 per cent, that is clearly misleading. Hon. Kimunya, a former Minister for view
