• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Let me thank the Mover of the Motion, hon. Wandayi, because he is helping do the work in the Jubilee Manifesto. That is because the person who made Kimunya write a nasty letter to the people of Kipipiri has said that it is in the Jubilee Manifesto. So, I will go by that because nobody has challenged him. So, hon. Opiyo Wandayi is doing the job of the sleeping Jubilee Members of Parliament. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Having said that, corruption is a vice that we cannot afford to live with in our country. I agree with other Members that we need to be sober about--- view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, protect me from hon. Mbadi. Hon. Mbadi is a pain- -- view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, that was with a light touch. You know that in the last two weeks, we have caught them napping on issues of corruption. That is a fact.

We are not opposed to our kids using technology. But we are opposed to somebody insisting on them. No procurement has been done and yet, the containers are in Mombasa. That is corruption. We must call it what it is. The duty of this House, at any time, is to support--- view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I will withdraw because it is none of my business to substantiate corruption. It is the duty – whether the laptops are in Mombasa, Juja or in Pepe – of this House to stop corruption. This House has no business supporting pilferage of public funds.
