• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Actually, I wanted to make a contribution. However, my point of order is that I would like to inform the House that the Minister, after consultations with His Excellency the President and myself, he informed us that having made his contribution yesterday and having listened to hon. Members’ views, he has decided to step aside to allow for a thorough investigation into this matter. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: May I go on and make a small contribution? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a very happy man today. The debate that has taken place in this House since yesterday confirms that Kenya has moved on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House has seen some very sad moments in as far as the issue of corruption is concerned. The one that easily comes to mind is that of the late hon.

• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: It has become increasingly very difficult to move within the City of Nairobi. In this regard, transportation is now reaching a crisis level. Traffic jams have become permanent features while deaths caused by reckless drivers, pedestrians and the poor state of the roads are on the increase. An increase in the number of motor cyclists and bicycle riders on our roads has also lead to increase in accidents. view

• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: In addition, urban areas’ stop-go traffic and severe delays are notable even during off-peak periods. Minor traffic incidents escalate into full-scale traffic jams. view
