• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee needs to relook into this matter and give the ERC the mandate it requires and give it full authority to take charge of the energy sector as they feel like.

I only want to mention the few bad things which are currently happening in Kisauni. It is known for drug abuse. I think in the whole of Kenya today, Kisauni is the leading constituency in terms of drug abuse.

• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for extending my time. Taita Taveta County is one of the richest counties in terms of minerals but it has become a curse to the people. This is as a result of lack of proper policies such as the one we are adopting today.
