• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as a Member of Parliament from Homa Bay County, let me thank His Excellency the President for the honour he has given to our son Lazarus Ombayi Amayo. I was in London two months ago and we really have challenges in the Embassy there. This is a good choice and I believe that this is a Kenyan who will work on this. view

• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: If anything happened to the President in Migori which was unfortunate--- I want to thank the President although that Motion has been passed.

• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is need for us to think about what our foreign policy is. You do not send people abroad and use our missions as a dumping ground or for seeking political favour or giving them away. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: I remember one time hon. Mwakwere, who is our nominee to Tanzania, sang in Lingala. When I saw the appointment, I thought hon. Mwakwere was being sent to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) because he is a very good guy. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: However, I want to say that, as Members of Parliament, let us acknowledge that those are presidential appointments. If the President believes that, that person who does not hold a degree will be the best representative of the country out there, so be it. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: I cannot end without thanking the President. I am going to invite him to Homa Bay County so that we can welcome him there properly. view
