• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will request for more details on what he has requested. If he can give me details then I will follow up the issue. If you give me two weeks, I will come with a very comprehensive answer. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do so. I hope he is on the way. view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker Sir that was a promise by the NARC Government and not the Coalition Government. As to how many people have been employed, that is the responsibility of the Ministry of Labour. It is them who know how many people have been employed up to this moment. I am dealing with the general planning of the Government! view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with that, but the hon. Member should know that this is a Coalition Government with different policies. This is not the NARC Government! view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Member of Parliament for Karachuonyo for that question.

It will be self defeating to say that we cannot allow any other foreigner ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a different Question but because of collective responsibility, I will try to answer. We have economic zones mainly around Nairobi, along Mombasa Road and around Mombasa. Economic zones are supposed to stimulate the economy, especially for exports because we want our country to be export-oriented.

With the new Constitution and with the creation of counties, those are areas we are going to look into since counties are going to be economic zones. The Government ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the real sense, that is not my question. That is a question for Mr. Dalmas Otieno. He is here but in the spirit of collective responsibility, I will try to answer it. However, if I do not give the correct answer, as the Minister in charge, he can chip in. Let me assure you that before the Government decided to increase the retirement age from 55 years to 60 years, there was a lot of review that was done. A lot of information was collected within the economy and it was established that even those people ... view
