• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank Hon. Speaker. I hear Hon. John Olago Aluoch whom I served with in the Commission in the 10th Parliament.

Now that you are saying there is that kind of a letter, I think we can resurrect this matter when we resume by way of provision of that letter and then I will be able to take it up with the Cabinet Secretary. With regard to parts (ii) and (iii), this morning, I sought ... view

• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the very deep concerns from the Hon. Member, but he seems to come from a point of information that he did not articulate in the Request for the Statement, especially the issue of arrest. I am looking at the five points that he raised. In fact, it bordered on asking how much money we got, which the Cabinet Secretary (CS) has actually enumerated to be over USD900,000. However, as to whether they were arrested and harassed, it did not come out. It should have been the case if you had asked why they ... view

• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate the weight of the matter that has been raised regarding the frequent fires in Gikomba market.

This morning, I got five Statements. I read two in the morning and I have ... view
