• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, all I am saying is that every Government makes pledges to correct wrongs or do good things. We have a manifesto. One of the pledges of this Government is to fight corruption. All we are asking from this side of the House is: The Goldenberg Saga must stop eating into public funds.

• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Chairlady. Having listened to hon. Tonui and having looked at the ordering of the amendments, his reasoning, to me, is perfect, although he is talking and the Members are shouting, the same Members who have just said that they want to pay teachers.
