23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have read many comments and views about what Kenyans are saying that my shoes are too big to fit. This is not, however, for me to judge. All I know is that we wear different shoes, walk differently and feel different in them. As you take up the new mantle my distinguished colleague Hon. Kimunya, please, wear your shoes, walk according to your style and how you feel. All that counts is that you serve the people of this great nation well.

As I exit, I am indeed proud to know that during my helm as the Leader of the Majority Party, I was able to push through the agenda of the Majority Party effectively. The results are out there and they speak for themselves. Hence, I will not belabour to lay out the same. I was not removed for inefficiency or lack of delivery, but simply because of the cycle and career of politicians. I, therefore, harbour no ill feelings or grudge. Last but not least, I wish to appreciate my able staff that was drawn from all over the nation. ...
