• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a Member of this House, I do not know any business that could be of such high priority and importance than this Bill that has taken us two years to conclude this issue which is really concerns the former MPs. These are men and women who have served in this House, some for one term and others for more than one term and they made serious sacrifices.

• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just learnt a few weeks ago that you are also a daughter of a former MP. I do not know if Mzee is covered under this.
