• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to send my message of condolence and that of the good people of Gem following the sudden and untimely demise of our former MP, my friend and brother, Washington Jakoyo Midiwo. As history would have it, I had a conversation with Jakoyo Midiwo on Friday at 6.00 p.m. That conversation was around telling him sorry for the demise of his elder sister Juliana. I asked him where I should send my donation and he told me to send it to him. Little did I know that was ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Revelation 21: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the old had passed…” We look forward that when our day comes, we will meet him in heaven. Thank you. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for granting me this opportunity to contribute to this debate on this historic Bill, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2020. view

• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: the years to come, the generations after us will have an opportunity to build on what we will do today. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I am also glad because Clause 16 of the Bill proposes to create the office of the leader of official opposition. I can see that many Members here are practising that role. Once that position is created, they will occupy it with a lot of grace. Clause 28 of the Bill creates the position of the prime minister which will ensure that there is inclusivity in governance in this republic. If you look at the benefits of the Bill vis-a-vis the basic losses, it is more beneficial to the people of the Republic of Kenya. If we do not pass ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I vote a big yes. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. He is now clearer. If you talk about cognitive dimension of a human being, it does not necessarily cluster the mind in reference to legal entity unless… view
