• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, emanating from the statement issued by the Prime Minister, we note that Kenyans have won 19 times in the Boston Marathon. What is the Government doing in terms of planning a Kenyan Marathon so that international marathon athletes can also come to this country, enjoy our hospitality and bring a lot of resources to this country? view

• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: This Motion is not timely, and it has no bearing to what is happening to the society today. The new Constitution guarantees the people of Kenya a new level of civilisation. This Motion does not promote civilisation.

• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with the application of this Bill, even the revenue base will expand because investors will construct many buildings, which will bring in a lot of income for the investors. Even tenants will direct their efforts to conducting business in the new houses. Therefore, revenue from taxation and rates will increase. We also note that at times we waste a lot of time. The whole nation is anguished when buildings collapse. We have seen buildings collapse in Nairobi. Some time back, Israelis came to Kenya to rescue our people who had been buried alive under the ... view
