• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Speech by His Excellency the President and indicate that Kenyans have lost faith in the Government. One year down the line, we still have internally displaced persons (IDPs) in this country. That is a shame for this Government. The only mistake the IDPs made was to elect us, as leaders, in this Parliament. So, it is high time that the Government ensures that the IDPs are settled and make sure that in the coming Budget, we allocate enough funds for them. This will ensure that we settle them. We ... view

• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I am saying is true and I will bring a substantive Motion on that.

• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to thank all the hon. Members for participating in this Session. I must say that this has been the most successful Session in the history of this Parliament. Many Bills have been passed and there was very healthy debate. But the Kenyans out there, I must admit, are not very happy with us. That is because we have not seriously addressed the problems affecting them. One of the major problems affecting most Kenyans is food shortage. I urge the Minister for Agriculture to look into ways and means ... view

• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: issue, which is touching on the ordinary mwananchi down there, should be addressed seriously. There is a problem with the price of unga . I think one of my colleagues mentioned it over the weekend. The issue of giving two prices of unga is very unfortunate.

• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to address the issue of extra judicial killings which are going on this country.
