• 2 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this House is aware that Kenya’s public debt stock has reached Ksh9.15 trillion and presently accounts for 67 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The 2023 Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy (MDMS) intends to provide a financing strategy that will minimise the cost and risk of public debt.

• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: It is my hope that she does not belong to the class of people who live in Nairobi and other big places who are not conversant with the difficulties these people are exposed to. I hope that she will not agree with any decision that is made by the Commission.
