• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It has gone on record that my colleague, Hon. Ken Okoth, is going to be opposed by the daughter of the prominent leader of ODM who is the party leader, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. This will go into the record of this House.

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you will realise that even the Jubilee Government wants the country to go digital.
