• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, issues that we have been canvassing through constitutional amendments cannot be cured through the Standing Orders. Therefore, I think as much as I respect Hon. Dennitah Ghati, it will not be fair at this late stage to have the same canvassed.

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. The proposals by the Committee are good and fundamental. Oversight committees are just like other committees. Therefore, I am moving an amendment on the appointment of Members and the terms. “The Members of the Committee shall be nominated and approved by the House at the commencement of every Session.” I find that a bit repugnant.

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. As much as I appreciate the misgivings by Hon. Gikaria and other Members, it is also good to appreciate that we cannot operate in isolation. The National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya will borrow traditions, practices and other precedents that have been applied in other parliaments. Therefore, this is consistent.
