• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Scheme is the bread basket for three divisions of Baringo District and it also takes care of the lives of over 100,000 people.

• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had earlier asked the Assistant Minister the Ministry's policy on irrigation.
