• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I want to agree with you in conforming to the provisions of the Standing Orders, indeed, nobody else was in Garissa Town when all the operation was being carried out.

• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a matter of fact, we have an environmental catastrophe in part of the country. Indeed, the UNHCR, in its own wisdom, had accepted to build what is called reinforced blocks as housing for refugees. The Government then stopped that.
