• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard the Member for Ikolomani says that none other than the Rt. Hon.Prime Minister did issue a roadside declaration that this road would be tarmacked within months after the by-election that took place more than a year ago in Shinyalu. It has become a common practice for the principals; both the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister and His Excellency the President, to issue these roadside declarations. What is the value of these roadside declarations if the relevant Ministry does not act upon them to effect the desires of the principals when they make these declarations? view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the law of the land that county councils hold trust lands on behalf of the inhabitants of the area.

• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to mislead the House that no action could be taken when, in fact, there is a matter pending in the High Court of Kenya, Kakamega Succession Case No.489 of 2004 relating to the estate of Newton Alenga Otiende?
