• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to confirm hon. Bahari’s statements. Indeed, the only people who spoke to this matter were hon.

• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the tribulations that our people face in Tana River and many other places, which are crocodile infested, are real. Compensation is usually channelled down to the recipient; it is a laborious process and the time it takes for someone to lodge a compensation claim is long. Sometimes it takes ages before a person receives compensation. What is this Ministry doing to ensure that they devolve some funds to some of these hotspots, so that you have a district cash fund that can provide compensations? These forms do not have to be sent to the headquarters, where ... view
