• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I join my colleagues in condoling the families that lost their loved ones. In Mumias East Constituency, we lost two students. We buried Mildred Yondo Wakholi on Saturday and we buried Evans yesterday. Like one speaker said, these students came from poor families.

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. In the Cabinet, we did not see many of the Cabinet Secretaries from our region and we are hoping now that some of the Cabinet Secretaries are stepping aside, these positions that are being created will enable him to balance his Cabinet by including people from western Kenya.

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was saying that in the case of Mumias, Mumias was a vibrant company when Dr. Kidero took over as the Managing Director (MD).

They are so many to a level where if we were to bring all the cases here, they would be more than what is contained in this EACC Report. view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am saying that if EACC has to investigate, let it investigate all the cases. We are aware that he took a lot of money using the discount he gave to the distributors when he was outsourcing. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I was very keen when you were guiding and advising us on how to go about this Bill and especially the timeliness of it.
