• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make a few remarks on this subject which is before us. I think it is very important that when we are debating the Budget, we take into account the fact that Kenyans look upon us to give contributions that will assist the Minister for Finance and the other Ministers who are managing the funds that have come from the taxpayers. They expect our contributions to be worthwhile. Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to statements from hon. Members in this House, quite clearly, we are pushing ourselves to a direction where ... view

• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the bridge connecting West Pokot District and Turkana at Kainuk collapsed three weeks ago. (b) As an emergency measure, my Ministry has installed a bailey bridge, which was opened to vehicular traffic on Wednesday, 20th June, 2007, while arrangements are made to rehabilitate the permanent bridge. view

• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not ask the hon. Member to pray to God to reduce the rains because we need the rains. The hon. Member should appreciate that there are only three bridges in his area which are giving his people a headache. At the Coast Province, and in parts of the Rift Valley Province, so many bridges have been washed away by the rains. This is happening all over the country. We cannot blame God for giving us the rains. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us do what we can for now. Everybody is reaching his or her destination ... view
