• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that the road network in this country is in a pathetic condition. There is nothing to be proud of. This House may stand accused of giving less funds to the Ministry of Roads for the maintenance of roads. But I am happy that this year, you have given us slightly over Kshs65 billion. I think Kshs70 billion would be enough for the Ministry 2670 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 14, 2008 to attend to most of the needs as raised on the Floor of the House by the Members of Parliament. I take your sentiments ... view

• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I politely take your warning to my Ministry, 2438 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 7, 2008 your office and the Office of the Clerk have the responsibility to dispatch the answers that I have already dispatched to Parliament.

• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I am aware that the Isiolo-Modogashe Road B9 traverses Igembe, Tigania and Garbatulla districts of Eastern Province. That road is about 195 kilometres long. I am serious about that project and I have already used Kshs29,589,551 on carrying out the design work. That was done by Otieno Odongo and Partners. It was completed in April this year. It is the duty of this House to allocate money that I have requested for, so that I can raise the Kshs8 billion to build that road. I am also looking for other development partners. Let me say ... view

• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Naibu Spika wa Muda, shukran kwa kunipa wasaa huu kuunga Hoja hii mkono. Ingawa nimechelewa, ninafikiria ni Hoja ya maana na 2210 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 30, 2008 lazima izingatiwe kusudi tuwe na msingi kamili wa kuiongoza nchi hii. Wazee wa nyumba kumi kumi huko vijijini wana kazi ya kuwasaidia machifu ama naibu wa machifu kwa daraja hilo. Kama vile wanavyoitwa, kazi zao zimepanuka na wakati huu sio nyumba kumi kumi tena. Wanaangaza kazi zao kwa nyumba zaidi ya 100 hata 1,000 kwa wakati mwingine, bila malipo. Naibu Spika wa Muda, nafikiria ni kunyanyaswa kwa hali ya juu kwa kutowalipa marupurupu ... view
