• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I can remember Dr. Nyikal was also there dealing on some of those issues. I support this Bill and ask that we should not support it on the microphone. On the day of voting I would like to ask that at least 235 of us be here to make sure we can vote. We could do it for the show, but on the actual day we end up with no quorum to vote. Like it happened when we had Hon. Chris Wamalwa’s Bill which we all supported but on the d-day the requisite quorum was not achieved. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I do not want to go beyond this. I believe my challenge to the lady Members of this House has been heard. They should take it as a positive challenge to help populate this Parliament with a 50-50 balance with more Members coming into this House of both genders.

• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I obviously recognise that the problem that Hon. Wanga has raised is a major problem but, I am lost in terms of whether it is being placed in the right committee. The issue of teenage pregnancy is not an education issue; it is a social issue.

• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not sure what the agitation is for. We have listened and undertaken. We shall bring a report to the House within two weeks. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker as you know, the Ministry is already doing some investigations and exams are on. So, getting all those people to come may be a challenge. We do not want to interfere with the exams. I would rather we take our time, get down to the root of this problem and see how we can save for the future. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: Report on attendance of the National Conference of State Legislatures 2018 Legislative Summit held in Los Angeles, California from 30th July to 2nd August 2018. view
