• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no problems with the amount which the Minister has mentioned. Indeed, I am encouraging him to spend up to Kshs4 billion.

• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: I am much obliged, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I merely said that the former Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs is a well known lawyer.

• 14 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the price of petroleum in this country, for example, in Nairobi, is very expensive. If you go to Nakuru, it is cheap. In Narok, which does not even have a pumping station, it is cheap. If you go to Kisumu, which has a pumping station, the price is high! The price of petroleum products in Kisumu is very, very high and yet, we have a Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) pumping facility, just like Nakuru.
