• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Mine is only one. When Hon. Kabinga wa Thayu was asking that question about a 176-page Report that people had not read, I was the first person to dismiss him. But, going by what has been said…. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. It is Murugara. I am sorry. When Hon. Murugara rose and requested for time to be given, in your ruling, can you rule that if a Report of say 200 pages is tabled in the morning, should we debate it in the next two hours or so? Maybe you could give us a ruling on that so that we also have time on when we should read or we should not. view

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would like to remind Hon. Members that the Speaker is a wise man. No wonder you were given the opportunity to lead Mt. Kenya. I thank you for the very wise issues that you have raised. Kenyans can see.

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: At the same time, I take issue with something small. In the past, he has given directives, but after seeing how Kenyans were suffering, he has been able to adjust.
