• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on the Motion. I rise to support this Motion on grounds that the main idea here is the protection of our territorial borders and co-operation of Eastern African countries and other countries on the issue of defence. There is also the defence pact between the Republics of Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda and the Agreement on the Establishment of the East African Standby Force. Hon.

• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on The Vetting of Judges and Magistrates (Amendment) Bill, 2015. The Vetting of Magistrates and Judges in the country is a very important exercise which was carried as part of the reforms in compliance with the new Constitution.
