27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with the Assistant Minister. He has outlined the requirements for exclusive rights for gold mining. This company has been operating within Nyatike District without the consent of the county council. I have a letter from the Migori County Council and signed by the Clerk of the County Council confirming that they have never given any consent to the Mid-Migori Mining Company, which I will table. I wish also to confirm to the Assistant Minister and to this House that the company has never got consent from the land owners in Nyatike. I will also table ...

This is the gold I am talking about! One person plus the Assistant Minister has been taking Nyatike people for granted. Would I be in order to request you to refer this Question to the relevant Departmental Committee because I think he cannot go outside the Question? Even hon. Michuki himself has counter-signed every page. That means he does not trust his technical staff. He thought another person might remove one page and replace it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, kindly, refer this Question to the relevant Departmental Committee.

5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for this elaborate answer. It is true that the Assistant Minister has confirmed that the Kuja River Estuary that feeds the Lake Victoria is blocked. I think that is an emergency. Could he tell this House when the emergency funds will be availed to handle this catastrophe?
