• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has 24 hours, and Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko was in the House for very few hours yesterday. However, I take his concerns and I will investigate the issue. That is the information I have from the ground. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless the hon. Member has a different agenda on this issue, I think the step taken by the District Commissioner and his committee is a good one.

• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the contrary, St. Benedicts Academy was started by Mr. Nicholas Owour and the land was sold to him by two lawyers, who had bought the land after it was auctioned by the National Bank of Kenya Limited. This was due to a non-payment of a loan by Mr. Adede. So, this developer has nothing to do with corruption that is being talked about in this House. He is a very clean person. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as today's Question is concerned, I have answered it to the best of my ability and I am satisfied that the land given to the hospital is of value. However, if the hon. Member has a different Question on what he thinks is corruption, he may bring it to the House in a different way, so that I can answer it. I will be very happy to receive that extra information that the hon. Member has. Maybe it will be of benefit to me and the House. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the contrary, the answers I have came from the same officers the hon. Member is accusing.

• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I oppose the amendment as proposed by Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko by drawing the attention of the House to Articles 5 and 7 of the Draft Rules.
