• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has attempted to mislead this House in his answer because this is misrepresentation of the facts as they were. The answer he has not given so far is why there was a big demonstration causing the police to fire in the air to quell the demonstrators. I personally witnessed the demonstrations. It is the OCS who prevailed upon me to ask the demonstrators to open the road which I did after he assured me that he will take action on the same two traffic officers and that they will not be given traffic duties ... view
• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very sad because the Assistant Minister has been given the wrong information about the traffic officers. They will continue with their impunity in Meru. Now that I was personally there and I saw the issues that are involved, I am sure the traffic officers assaulted that person.

• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week this Question was scheduled to be on the Order Paper yesterday but the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security requested that it be put on the Order Paper today when he would be in the House. I am surprised that he is not in. Is it in order for us to defer the Question again to tomorrow? view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister for Defence should not have blamed the Backbench when several Questions have been asked and no Minister has responded to any of the Questions. Again, it is not right to have only two Ministers out of 80 to transact Government business in the House. It shows that they have absconded their duties. They are not interested in the affairs of Parliament. It is time they resigned and went home. view
