• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in one minute I can say that I would like the country to re-read the Building Bridges Initiative’s (BBI) First Report. Everybody accepted the BBI’s first report. It talks about what I am talking about but it also talks about how we must fix Kenya through having a proper national ethos. view
• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: This Senate, being the Upper House, should be on the forefront in ensuring that this country has a positive national ethos, which includes issues of integrity, anti- corruption and ensuring that we do not have negative ethnicity in this country. This Senate can lead in approaching national issues in a bi-partisan manner in the same way the First Senate was approaching these types of issues to the extent of coming up with amendments for the Constitution. view

• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Although I support the Motion but I think it has not gone far enough.

However, other jurisdictions recognise the longest serving Members in their Standing Orders. Number one, two and three should be recognized. The other one is that we are being left out on the issues of East Africa and regional integration.

• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having made a very compelling case beyond reasonable doubt as to why we should not approve this thing now, is the Senate Minority Leader in order to say that he has no alternative but to support? You have an alternative to say ‘no’ and lead the Minority in opposing this thing. view
• 27 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to eulogize a great Statesman, great son of Kenya and a brilliant mind. I think that if he had taken sciences, he would have been called a genius. He was very eloquent and yet very humble; a man of humility.
