• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the amendments. We should separate the issue of health and the issue of bringing equality to the players in the tobacco industry. If we do not want to create a monopoly, we should create a fair playing ground for everybody. What is happening here is that we want to bring one company and make it enjoy a monopoly by imposing taxation that will kill another indigenous company that is trying to come up. I believe that what was brought in was a research to see how ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these teachers served the country and there was an agreement between them and the Government in 1997. The Government failed to honour its part and they retired without what was due to them. Today, they live in poverty because they are not paid an adequate pension and they do not have salaries that they deserve to go home with. Could the Assistant Minister tell us how soon this is going to happen because--- view

• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I wish to say that I support and second this Motion about the amendment of Section 12 of the Traffic Act because the ideals are very noble and are meant to make sure that Kenya moves in line with other developing countries and those which have already developed. Our number plates seem not to have matched the demand that is already in the country, the choice of Kenyans and the taste of those using their cars. People are made to take what is offered by the Government without any alternative at all. ... view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) to explain in which financial year she will finance the expansion of the Meru sewerage system in view of the rapid expansion of the town; (b) whether she is aware that Makutano Town is not connected to a sewer despite the Minister’s promise to connect it two years ago; and, (c) what measures the Ministry is taking to connect Makutano to the sewerage system. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Minister is answering the wrong Question. My Question is on Makutano in North Imenti. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am sure the Minister is not in order to answer a Question on Tigania East while I am asking about North Imenti. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister, in the year 2008, gave an answer to the same question. The answer was that the design for that sewerage system would be done and it would cost Kshs700 million and that in the following financial year, they would look for money, either through the Treasury or development partners. So, they were to factor it in the 2009/2010 Financial Year. I find that the Minister is now misleading the House because she has forgotten what promise she made during that time. Is she serious in her reply to this Question today? view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister be serious this time and assure the residents of North Imenti – now that she took the money that was meant for North Imenti to Maua which is part of Meru – that they will get this facility because it is seriously needed due to the expansion of Makutano Township which is part of bigger Meru Town? Could she assure this House that this sewer system will be put in place before long? view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether she is aware of the existence of Kunati Irrigation Scheme planned in 1975, but never implemented; and, (b) how much money the Ministry has allocated to this project in the 2010/2011 Financial Year view
