• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometime back, this House was entertained by a display of two packets of maize flour; one costing Kshs52 and the other costing Kshs72. We all felt relieved that, at last, Kenyans were to enjoy some availability of food. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the position today is such that the cost of maize flour for a two-kilogramme packet is well above Kshs100 and, sometimes, Kshs150!

• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank every Member of Parliament for the time they have taken in this House. We are living in this country and we are supposed to listen to our people. We are supposed to listen even to the silent majority.

• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Okay, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me wish everybody a happy Christmas, including my constituents. We are not going for recess to rest; rather, we are going to work even harder with our constituents. view
