• 5 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion for Adjournment. I wish to emphasize the importance of the conference that we are planning ahead. Money should be spent prudently and at the end, people should gain knowledge on what the county assemblies and the Senate do. We would like to see even reviews on some of the Bills that were passed by the county assemblies that we feel are not constitutional. Some citizens also have issues with some of the Bills that were passed. I hope those who are researching on content will bring out issues that Kenyans can understand ... view

• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is my good friend, the Senator for Homa Bay County, in order to talk about the funding, knowing very well that even Parliament itself has not passed the Bill for financing political parties?
