• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to present Petition No.01 of 2020 regarding restoration and revival of the Kenya Cashew Nuts Factory. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the farmers and the people of Kilifi County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the now defunct Kenya Cashew Nuts Factory located in Kilifi Town in Kilifi County was built in 1975 by the Kenya Cashew Nuts Limited with capacity to process 15,000 tonnes of cashew nuts per year. view

• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to echo what you have said. What Hon. Mishra has said is very unfortunate that he wants to portray all Hon. Members as dishonest as he may want to be himself. He needs to withdraw that statement. We have Hon. Members here and we should be treated that way. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: He needs to withdraw and apologise. view

We have now had three people from the other side speaking. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to say one or two things regarding this Amendment Bill.
