• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I joined the Eighth Parliament and immediately I was appointed to the Chairmen’s Panel. I want to say here that if it were not for Mr. Gichohi, I would not have succeeded in my work. I think I did so well, as a Member of the Chairmen’s Panel that during the Ninth Parliament, I was elected by this House to be the Deputy Speaker. view

• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the Tenth Parliament, where we are now, he joined you in your endeavour to reform Parliament. We have seen many reforms undertaken by you, with a lot of assistance from him. One of which, is the refurbishment of this Chamber, where we are speaking from. I was privileged to Chair the Committee that was doing the plans for this Chamber and his advice was invaluable. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Gichohi was also in the Standing Orders Committee which I chaired. I want Members to know that when we came here during the Eighth Parliament, there were no Committee systems. It was him, and others, who developed the Committee system; now every Member of Parliament can participate in a committee. view

• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of that fact but I am also aware that as an elected Member of Parliament, I have the right to articulate the views of my constituents. In this case, I can choose to go by the principle of collective responsibility or choose to defy that principle because I have a very important point to make. view
