• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We appreciate the role that our boys in uniform play in safeguarding the borders of this country, but we are not a country at war. Every financial year we are approving billions of shillings for something called “modernisation” and other things. What is our priority as a country? It is to develop our country.

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Speaking about devolution, the drafters of this Constitution, if I was asked, would have given NG-CDF priority.

• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The Petition that Hon. Simba Arati has brought to the attention of this House is very important because issues of workers being intimidated are becoming common in this country. Just the other day, Kenyans were up in arms about the Chinese intimidating and exploiting them. It seems to be common that an employer can now do anything they want to an employee. This House should take those issues coming up very seriously. We are the peoples’ representatives. If our people are crying to us, we should be seen to take action against those who ... view
