• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to also pass my condolences to the family of the late Hon. Obwocha. I also do it on behalf of the Forum for Restoration of Democracy (FORD-K) Party, of which I am the Secretary-General. Hon.

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Indeed, Hon. Obwocha’s contribution to the fight for opening up the democratic space will forever be remembered. All of us who are enjoying our various positions in various committees should remember that the National Assembly used to have only two committees – Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Public Investments Committee (PIC) – until a time when Hon. Obwocha and other colleagues benchmarked around the world and proposed that we form departmental committees. So, he has left a legacy that this Parliament and the nation should always remember him for. view

• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party has stopped me from my intention to move an amendment to drop the name of Mrs. Lucy Ndung’u. He has convinced and appealed to me.

• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The Ombudsman office, which is now called the Commission on Administrative Justice is very important. Many people have missed justice in this country. They have no recourse to anywhere else. They are not even aware of arbitration. The Ombudsman office has very important officers. Hon. Otiende Amollo elevated it to that sphere. Many people are aware of it now. I know there is a move being initiated at the moment where people are trying to merge the Ombudsman office, the National Gender and Equality Commission and the Kenya Human Rights Commission. Some people are making a move to merge them ... view
