• 15 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry that, that had to happen.

• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not the Pensions Department that has a problem. Pension dues for Mr. Kyule Uvatha were sent to Machakos and they went uncollected. After some time, the dues were returned to the Director of Pensions. We are obliged to inform the House and the hon. Member that if the pensioner is available, he will be required to fill the necessary forms and we will find out the status of his pension. view
