• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I add my voice to what Hon. Members have already said. Our athletes are our ambassadors. Whenever you see the flag of Kenya being carried by our athletes you feel like you are very important in this world.

This is because they know even after retirement, they will continue to earn money. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, even those in the armed forces need to be promoted. If one is a mere soldier, he should be promoted to the rank of Inspector.
