• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that Mr. Mumo was forced onto that job. I thought Parliament approved his appointment and with a very vast majority. Therefore, really Mr. Mumo Matemu is validly in that office. Secondly, as I said it is not the directors who owe taxes to the KRA. It is the Kingsway Tyres and Automart Limited that owes tax arrears. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is a matter of public record that this Parliament approved Mr. Mumo Matemu as the Chairman of the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). If there is a court case, I am not aware of it. However, that is besides the point. The point is his appointment was approved by this House. That is the most important thing.

• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry about that because we sent those answers and they should be somewhere in Parliament. I think they have arrived because we sent them about three hours ago. I am sorry about that and I am prepared to answer. view
