• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is important to separate some of this community land, as I said, from what they call “trust land” because trust and like ADC farms has also been badly misused. The local authorities have distributed or sold it with little or no management at all. I think it is so important to identify some of the community land; with the help of the Government and some professionals, proper committees can be established with the responsibility to look after this land for the benefit of other people. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: This is also so that we can separate some of these things from the towns and other areas to get the community to own something which they can benefit from. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I leave this issue, I want to say that in the Constitution, we have this question of historical injustices. It is so important and it has been very well documented in the Constitution; historical injustices should be addressed either through petitions in Parliament or through petitions to the National Land Commission--- view

• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I am trying to say is--- What am I saying? We should establish this thing; this Government and its successors cannot run away from some of these things. It should deal with them properly through this House, through the Land Commission or through other committees that can be established to make sure that we deal with historical injustices.

• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to express my heartiest condolences to the family and the people of Kangemi for the death of hon. John Michuki. This man was my friend, my colleague, my age mate and I had a lot of respect for him. For the time we have stayed together in the Cabinet, we always consulted very closely and I have great respect for him. This is not an ordinary person.
