• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Question that has been asked, it is actually four questions in one. For example, it asks: Is the Minister aware that the Central Bank of Kenya has been losing colossal sums of public funds? You could have cases where the CBK is losing money. Again, the Question talks about “inordinate”. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, let me address the question by Mr. Kabogo. Let me point out to him that Members of Parliament do not murmur in the House.

• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. It is important that we give this Commission time to complete their report and reconcile this country. This is the first time that we are having a truth and reconciliation commission. It is something new. They are still on learning curve. There is nobody with a monopoly of knowledge.

This is simply procedural. Let us approve this ... view
