• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I wish to say that I am encouraged by the enthusiasm of hon. Members to continue doing parliamentary business. It is a very encouraging sign; this is the eagerness, the readiness and preparedness to work. I would also like to echo the sentiments that have partially been expressed by Mr. Midiwo. The fact is that for us to do business, there must be business. We all know that we have come from a very difficult time, where there was post-election violence. It has been a difficult time for all of us. The truth ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I remind Dr. Khalwale that when I was sitting to your left, he was sitting on this other side. I effectively performed my role as the Leader of the Opposition until the last minute, when I decided that it was necessary for me to join the side which was certainly going to win.

We are talking about the party that was the Official Opposition now having agreed to join a Grand Coalition Government with the President and the party that he belongs to. With those few ... view

• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank, you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member for Malava, Mr. Shitanda, had asked for a Ministerial Statement from my Ministry regarding the Ministry's decision to ban matatus from accessing the Central Business District (CBD). According to the hon. Member, the decision has left many commuters inconvenienced, with some having to walk over five kilometres to their places of work. I beg to give the following Ministerial Statement:- As hon. Members are aware, the City of Nairobi has been experiencing severe vehicular congestion as well as an increase in the number of hawkers operating within the CBD. This has frustrated ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To answer hon. Shitanda, the idea was, indeed, to decongest the city and, ultimately, that means that the matatus will be using less fuel because of travelling shorter distances. However, I would just like to remind hon. Shitanda that the transport sector in this country is largely dominated by the private sector and, hence, my Ministry has really no authority to dictate the prices. That is why I March 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 365 actually referred to the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system that is part of the long-term transport solutions for this city where, ... view
