• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I need guidance from the Chair. Is this Budget for half of the year or for the full year? view
• 4 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister inform the House about the current inflationary trend rates in the country at the moment? view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me to read the Question for the Assistant Minister's comprehension. It states as follows:- "Is the Minister aware that several Kenyans have been killed and are continuing to be killed by the police in the name of crime prevention?" He says that he is not aware of this and yet in part "b" of his reply, he says that over 434 were killed. Is he in order to mislead us that nobody has been killed and yet he admits again that, in the prevention of crime, over 400 people have ... view
• 29 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I thank the laureate, Prof. Maathai, but I would like to put it bluntly that when you talk of ASAL, you think of a desert. The simple answer is to plant trees there then there will be no ASAL.

• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the current turmoil in the Middle East is being fought over oil or "black gold." Water has become more expensive than oil in this country. Half a litre of water costs more than one litre of super fuel. So, as the time goes by water is becoming more expensive. As such, the next world war will be fought over water. That is why this Ministry is so important that it is being rated number one. Not in terms of performance, but in terms of its importance which involves life. Water is life. So, the officers ... view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: We can send them water bills every month. We have given them our natural resources for free while they sell theirs to us. Time has come that a country like Egypt cannot dictate to us what we should do with our own natural resources. We are not dictating to them what they should do with their natural resources. I blame the officers at Maji House because Egypt has never stopped us from utilising water in Lake Victoria. What have they done so that these people come and stop us? Nothing! Even at the source, they have done nothing. So, time ... view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell us what steps are being taken because some of those claims date back several years? Which specific insurance broker is holding what? When will that money be released to the company? view
