• 4 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to raise an issue which was raised by the Minister for Finance, Mr. Kimunya, yesterday, after a court ruling on the Privatisation Act. It is not in order that a matter which is before a Committee of this House is raised outside the House.

• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade wanted to discuss this particular Bill with the Minister.
