• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is one thing that we must stress as a National Assembly; this country is a unitary State. This country is not a federal state. We might even want to seek from our Budget and Appropriations Committee to reserve some funds so that we can educate our governors.

Onyancha has gone through six elections in three elections. He would, probably, be among the oldest Members of this Parliament if it were not for those frivolous petitions. I am asking the ODM and the CORD fraternity not to file superfluous petitions, otherwise, we will teach them a lesson. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The incident at the Kisii University is despicable. How can askaris, the ones we gave some power to use their arms about two weeks ago, use those same arms against our innocent students, who were just holding innocent demonstrations? Why did they have to shoot? Why could they not arrest them? What punishment are we going to sanction against them?
