• 15 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, last week, three FM stations voted 99 per cent for Hon. Moses Kuria. The public called into three radio stations. Where will Kenyans go if they want to support people who are simply calling for killings? That kind of mentality of Kenyans wanting to make a hero out of their ethnic chauvinists is not acceptable. This is what is driving politicians. This is wrong. We, as politicians, must rise above that. However, we must also equally condemn it. view

• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya Power is a company of contradictions. This is because you read about them saying there is so much power that they are thinking of exporting it then in the next minute, half of this country has unreliable power supply and it is very expensive.

• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the Vice Chairman did not clarify some of the questions I sought.
