• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a situation where a Government is out to oppress its low income earners. The Minister has talked about a stakeholders’ meeting at the Bomas of Kenya. Could he tell this House how the stakeholders were picked? The information we have is that the Ministry, under the leadership of Mr. Kimunya, handpicked people who would come and hit a dead nail to the 14-seater, Marutis and Proboxes in this country. Could he confirm how these people were handpicked? view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister in order to mislead the House that decongestion has reduced, yet we know a route such as Nairobi- Namanga, people are travelling in small vehicles called Probox because the Government has not registered 14-seater matatus ? view
• 1 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have evidently seen that this Government does not recognise small business man. Is it unconstitutional for a Minister, or a Cabinet, to decide that you must have so much money to do business?

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a small typographical error because the Question was meant to be on “licensing” but it is indicated as “registration”. Fortunately, the answer is talking about licensing and registration. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) whether he is aware that M/s Kenya Tanning Extract Company Limited terminated the services of 21 workers with effect from 31st December, 2008 but has declined to pay them gratuity, redundancy or other dues; (b) whether he could inform the House when the former employees will be paid their dues; and, (c) what measures the Ministry will take to ensure that, in the event of closure of the company, the former employees are paid all their dues. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week, I am sure you were in the House when this matter was referred again on the same pretext that another Ministry should deal with it. This country has a Prime Minister who is the coordinator of Government affairs. How long is the House going to be treated to issues of “this Question does not belong here or there” and yet it can be referred to the Prime Minister to coordinate just like he is coordinating the Government?
