• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Moi ruled this country and went through many phases that were difficult, but somehow, he always managed to pass over. He brought back the multi-party system. He initiated the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) to cool down temperatures. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Moi ruled this country when he had opposition from the two major tribes of this country. Hardly did the Kikuyus and Luos support Moi in his time, and he endured.

• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these people have gone to the extent of building secondary schools, dispensaries and other infrastructure.
