• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to mourn the 28 Kenyans who were grisly massacred on Saturday in Arabiya area of Mandera East Constituency. I grieve with the family members, relatives, friends and even the counties that were affected. We are with you and we grieve with you.

Where did the rain start beating us? view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Where is the problem? There is a new phenomenon developing in this country. It seems that the terrorists have invented a new formula. They want to bring religious conflict into Kenya. They want to pit Muslims against Christians or other religious groups. This is the new face of terrorism that we are seeing. How prepared are we to counter this, and create a one Kenya and one people? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
