• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protection. I want to start by giving my thanks to my constituents for giving me this opportunity to serve in this honourable House. I am glad to join my colleagues here and hope that we will work together for the good of this great country. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I must say that when I was elected to come to this House, I felt that I would make my maiden speech with a warm heart, but it is sad. This is not the case because the experience I have gone through with my colleagues throughout the last three months is not a good one to be happy about. I have seen children being killed.

• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish as Members of this House, we can act together as team when a Kenyan is killed for no reason whatsoever. When it comes to killing, we should join our hands together and not think of our ethnic origins, political parties, but think of the Kenyan who has died for no reason at all.

• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I know one will say that the President was elected. But surely, his election is the cause of the turmoil we are seeing. Many, including me, believe that his election was not fair and transparent. Many share this feeling with me. If that is the case, do we Members of Parliament just watch and say hallelujah? Surely, we can only help this country by pointing out what is bad. It does not matter whether whoever did it is in my party or not. We should accept that this is good even if it comes from the other side of the ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: The Temporary Deputy Speaker has ruled that I cannot be interrupted because I am making my maiden speech. You are not going to control the debate because you are not in the Chair. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: This is my prayer. I want a Kenya anybody would want to live in. A Kenya in which democracy and nothing else guides our future, our path and everything we want to do so that Kenya can be glorified by all of us including those who wanted to ask me questions. view
