• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister should really weigh his words very carefully because this is a matter of national concern. These were Kenyans who died while serving the nation. Nobody else can get in touch with the family other than through a lawyer, Ngatia, who is the family lawyer. All the information I have here is from him direct and I have an e-mail from him and I was with him yesterday. So, let us not also try and justify what we are not doing by pretending that we are doing it view
• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I speak with a very heavy heart because of how we lost our brothers. My condolences go to the families of all the six people who passed on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have known Prof. Saitoti through my association with him to be a very honest human being. He was a very committed leader, but more so, a very courageous human being. I think Kenyans do not know this. The other week we travelled together in the same chopper that he died in to Bomet. I asked him why we were going there through air ... view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want my colleagues to differentiate between a constitutional matter and matters of national security.

• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could hon. Midiwo, who is my very good friend differentiate between devolution and national security because there will be no devolution without security? It will be meaningless! view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to ask the Assistant Minister a question and I would like him to be very honest. I had the Mayor of the City Council of Nairobi, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development and the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government in my Committee this morning. So, what the Assistant Minister is telling this House is not true. He had 200 vehicles in the 1960s and 1970s but they are only 26 today. I have a list of all the vehicles and their defects. Those vehicles are lying in the garages. ... view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Minister for a job well done, but I am concerned about the plight of Kenyans, particularly the issue of the middle class.
