• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: It is so inspiring that it has taken a Private Member’s Bill to bring to actualization and fruition the dream of Article 46. Having gone through this Bill, I am convinced that it is a giant step towards this country realizing the kind of consumer protection guaranteed by that Article. I just want to emphasize, therefore, the provisions in Part 2 of this Bill; provisions which speak to consumer rights and make provision for very innovative measures like class proceedings, amplifying the requirement for quality of goods and services and all those issues that for many Kenyan consumers, they can ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to applaud this step that provides the Kenyan consumer with a platform, not only a platform to take action, but a deterrent. This law in itself, upon enactment by this House and assent by the President - I do believe that His Excellency will assent to it expeditiously because it is a Bill of great import - will serve as a deterrent.

• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is really tragic when a Member makes a deliberate effort to waste time and raise issues which are obviously out of sync. The information the Member has provided is a record of the process conducted by the interviewing panel. At the conclusion of that process, the panel then made a decision.
