• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to bring to the attention of the House the fact that we want to do our work as Members of Parliament.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to convince the hon. Minister that already this person is subject to a fine not exceeding Kshs100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both. Why then should we bar this person from voting in the next elections? We know most of the people who are subjected to this problem register twice without knowing.
