• 14 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, that is the situation. However, if I refer you to the HANSARD, the Assistant Minister promised the House that he would bring evidence to show that this lady was okay. The Chair then suggested to the Assistant Minister to get the Ambassador and the lady to call home to confirm that she was not being held captive. What the Assistant Minister has given the House, from what he has said - I have not seen it – is that she remitted money home. That cannot be proof that this lady is not being held captive. I ... view

• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) if he is aware that Ms Alice Wambui Kabugi, a retired primary school teacher (TSC No. 73615) has been following up on her benefits since June 2007, without any success; and, (b) when she will be paid. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister telling you that this Question has been on the Order Paper three times, which is true. Every time the Question appeared on the Order Paper, the Ministers sought time to go and find out when this pensioner would be paid her money. The first one was Minister Mutula Kilonzo on 10th May, 2012. He sought two weeks which he was given. On 22nd May, 2012 and 23rd May, 2012, more time was sought. I am not sure whether the Assistant Minister is satisfied with what he has told the House, that ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you but Standing Order No.82 requires a hon. Member to give information to the House that is accurate and you have heard the Assistant Minister say that the reasons why there was delay was because this lady was overpaid and it is on the HANSARD. So, could he table that information when he comes next in July because there is nothing like that? There was no overpayment into this lady’s account. I have gone with her to Kiambu. So, really, the Assistant Minister gave information knowingly to this House that was not actually factually ... view
• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me join other Kenyans in sending my condolences to the families of the six Kenyans; amongst them, Prof. Saitoti and hon. Ojode. I would like to send the condolences of my family, people of Juja and the people of Kiambu County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said so, I want to join the last speaker on the Floor and call for very thorough investigations. In my mind, as an helicopter pilot, I am not fully convinced of the story that is being given to us. I have experienced bad weather before. I know it is ... view
