• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: With respect to the situation in Somalia, the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU) and other regional organisations such as the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the Eastern Brigade exist to address the matter.

• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that the flight has been cancelled because of invasion threats to this country. If they had any other reasons, that is up to them. We cannot force any country to bring their planes to this country, if they do not wish to do so. Regarding the issue of Al Shabaab shooting down a Kenya Air Force helicopter, that is a blatant lie, and we intend to take this matter to the highest court of this country. view
• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not misleading the House. I do not go by reports in newspapers. I have not been told officially that that is why the flight has been cancelled. view
• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, sir, I stand by what I have said. I am not aware that Mr. Mwakwere is stranded there. In any case, that is not the only plane that comes to Kenya. He can find his way back home. view
