• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I hope I will get additional minutes as compensation for the few minutes they have taken from my time. I really want to challenge ourselves, as Members of this House, because we have been very quick at aligning other laws with the Constitution yet this one, which touches on our welfare has taken 10 years.

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My intervention relates to the Questions.

• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: the reason Uwezo Fund, Youth Enterprise Development Fund, and the Women Enterprise Development Fund are failing is basically because Kenyans have this habit of believing government money is not refundable.
