• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Appropriation Bill be now read the Third Time. I request, Hon. Millie Odhiambo to second. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I thank you for the opportunity.

• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The only interest I can declare is that I have worked in the insurance industry. Therefore, I am alive to what happens in the insurance industry. When I said “us” at the time I worked in the insurance industry, I knew at least three or four Members of Parliament then in the early 2000, 2003/2004 including a Cabinet Secretary who ran insurance brokerage firms.

However, my point was that the person who assumes the risk of insurance is never an agent. It is never an insurance broker. It is the underwriter who assumes the risk. Should we allow insurance brokers and agents to continue holding money? view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I second, I want to join the Leader of the Majority Party. Probably, a number of Members did not get exactly what I said.
