• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, I think the Chair should not go back to the National Treasury but instead he needs to summon or invite the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Planning before the Committee so as to deal with him professionally and formally. When you deal with a CS informally, then informal arrangements remain informal like a friendly chat. If you invite the CS before a Committee and he commits himself to transfer Ksh10 billion to the NG-CDF fund, then he will have to do so, because it is a commitment to a formal Committee of Parliament. view

• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party knows how to break my heart. I was trying to forget the results of last night’s match, but it appears he was reading what was in my mind. He wanted me to remember it. However, the team is coming up. view
