• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, protect me from Hon. Amina Abdallah. I thank you for guiding us. We have found ourselves in this quandary which she says I am the source. I have already ceded ground. Hon. Speaker, having listened to many members, I request you Chair that even as the Liaison Committee proceeds in the manner that you have suggested, we retreat to a Kamukunji on Thursday and thrash out this matter so that we can have a substantive Budget and Appropriations Committee. That is if members agree. I know the Committee Chairs will obey you because they are your servants. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Yes you are. He is the boss. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it will be nice to accord us a one hour Kamukunji just for that particular issue so that we can listen to the cries of the Chairs of Committees.

• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This is not the first time we are raising this issue as Members of Parliament. It is amazing what our ‘friendly neighbour” keeps doing to our country along our shared borders. Two days ago, there were military incursions in Busia by the Ugandan forces along markets on the Kenyan side. They come into our country and confiscate our ware or money by force and nothing happens. An act of aggression cannot be better defined than what Uganda is doing to Kenya. Our Government cannot sit and wait for us to shout from the rooftops. I was in Muhuru Bay on ... view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Ugandan President is on record saying that the rock belongs to Kenyans and the water belongs to him. Whatever that means, why is he shooting Kenyans on the rock? A few days ago, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officials who went there to register voters were arrested by Uganda policemen. The nation should know that the nearest landmass to Migingo in Uganda takes eight hours to reach on a motorboat.
