• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Speaker, in the case of Leariwala whose pension has been processed, I have asked him to confirm because the matter is now in the hands of the Director of Pensions. I am willing to go and see the Director of Pensions although, really, that is the function of the Treasury. I will just confirm what is going on there.

• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am unable to answer that question. In fact, I am unable myself to comprehend why civil servants are not kind to one another.

• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, even if you give me one year or ten years, it will not improve. I think I have been extremely helpful because these are my people. Some of them are my relatives. I will do what I said before, that they can come to my office and make a follow up. I will be very firm on personnel officers in my Ministry but Treasury should also wake up. view

• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not understand what I am supposed to gain by deferring the Question. I have requested for documentation and for the chiefs to come and see me. I have requested them to bring the documents and I have also requested the District Commissioner (DC) to trace the file from the mother district. If you tell me to come next week, I will not have achieved much but if you give me two or three weeks, I can report back the progress on this matter. view

• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support the amendments. I think they are basically harmless. view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seconding the proposed amendments to remove the word “marginalization” and replace it with “under-development” and also to recognize the contribution of other departments that support the Ministry of State for Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands. view
