• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: newspaper's story is false. It is creating the wrong perception that the Attorney- General is facing investigations and that, that investigation has been recommended by the PAC. So, I would like to request that the newspaper be warned and correct that impression. view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to start by declaring that I support this Motion, because it is a very important one and is overdue. The Minister for Agriculture is here, and I think his ears are open. The sugar industry in this country is going to collapse the way the cotton industry collapsed.

However, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs is giving us the amounts given to each province.

• 6 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kenya Charity Sweepstake funds various development projects. There is no harm in the Minister writing down the names of the projects that have been funded by the organisation. He should also inform us in what constituencies the projects are.

The Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs should table the list of these projects in the House, so that we can see whether there is corruption at the Kenya Charity Sweepstake. If he does not do that, he will be unfair to Kenyans. He should table ... view
• 28 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you know I always come to your aid. We will be thinking about this matter. If you need my assistance, I will be there to assist you. view
