• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Lake Victoria often know that I have piloted them on it. There a few who know that. Hon. Grace Kiptui knows that I have piloted her on the lake. Hon. Kaluma was afraid. He did not come on the boat. We do not seem to know that if we were to properly utilise Lake Victoria in terms of transport and tourism we would gain a lot. We need to know that the last navigation map for the lake was done in 1910. We do not know which dangerous straits on the lake are and which could cause a calamity very ... view

• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, from the outset, I want to make it clear that I am a firm believer in the principle of separation of powers and supremacy of Parliament as representing the people of Kenya.

Any Kenyan including a Member of Parliament can go to court and say that what we have done is unconstitutional. For us to look at this we need to see the pleadings and if the Speaker has been served with an Order or not. view

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Kisumu West Constituency joins the rest of Kenya in mourning Mama Lucy Kibaki. I will disagree with Hon. Cecily Mbarire that Mama Lucy Kibaki taught women not to be afraid of men. As Hon. Mutava Musyimi will tell you, in the Book of Ephesians, Chapter 5 verses 22 to 25, husbands have been told to love their wives and wives to respect or submit to their husbands. view

We look back at Mzee Kibaki with nostalgia as we look at what is going on in the country now. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
