• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need to assist my colleague. When you get a maize plant that can actually withstand drought in North Eastern Province and then cross-breed it with one that can produce more yield and faster than normal from Kitale District and then plant it in Nyanza Province, what you are essentially doing is closing the cell so that you can produce a crop that has several good characteristics. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to oppose this Motion. view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to talk about genetically-modified foods, while at the same time he is referring to manure and fertilisers? That has nothing to do with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, the Assistant Minister said that some contractors owe the Government money. Could he tell us which contractors are these? view

• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to interject because part "b" of the Question has not been answered. In your ruling yesterday, you said that it is the responsibility of Parliament to check on the Executive. There is no reason why that report should not be tabled in this House because taxpayers' money amounting to Kshs11.1 million was used. This is similar to the Goldenberg Report and other reports. Could the Chair intervene so that the Minister can reply to part "b" of the Question? view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is claimed that billions of shillings were looted out of this country and that this money has been used to invest in the US, UK, South Africa and Switzerland as indicated in the report. Could the Minister tell this House what the Government has done to contact these foreign governments to assist them in repatriating those funds back to this country? view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the former Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Mr. Murungi, said that corruption fights back. This file was taken to KACC three years ago. The reason why the Government is not able to investigate this file is that every time they send the investigators to these people, they are bribed. Could the Minister confirm or deny that Samuel Gichuru, Joshua Kulei and James Kanyottu are some of the individuals mentioned in that report? view
• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Could the Assistant Minister lay on the Table a list showing the amounts those contractors requested the Government to pay them but it has refused because they owe it money? The Assistant Minister should lay on the Table the list of those companies that owe the Government money. He should also lay on the Table the list that shows the companies that the Government owes money. view
• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to say one or two things with regard to the Budget Speech. The Government has been saying that it has increased its revenue collection. One of the reasons why the revenue collection has increased is because this country has no money laundering laws. For example, in the building industry and the stock exchange, people are coming to invest in this country with illegal or black money.
