• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, that proposed amendment must be defeated.

• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me add my voice to this very critical issue. I thank Hon. Duale for raising such a matter of great significance. For starters, both the High Court and the Court of Appeal rulings on the matter of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), even though some of us disagree with them very strongly, as we speak, they now form part of our laws.
