• 10 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: We looked at the life of this Parliament and I thank the membership of the House. The 12th Parliament, contrary to perception out there, in the year of COVID-19 when we had a lot of challenges, we passed and had 23 Bills assented into law. That is just one Bill less than what we did the previous year. The other year it was 24 Bills while last year it was 23. This year, we are likely to do even much better. So, we did not underperform even at the time of COVID-19. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Before the COVID-19 Pandemic, we used to sit in this Chamber for about 16 hours in a week. On Tuesdays, we used to sit for four-and-a-half hours, on Wednesdays we used to have two Sittings, cumulatively about six hours, and four-and-a-half hours on Thursday. That cumulatively brings us to about 16 hours. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we do not create more Sittings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will be sitting for very few hours in a week. Therefore, we looked at this matter as the House Business Committee and felt that we need to sacrifice given that this is ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I plead with this House to agree with the House Business Committee and create the extra hours. I know in the evening people will not find it very easy to be present in the Chamber, but that is what happens everywhere in the world. We see how the Congress or the US Senate is sitting to transact business of impeachment. They do it even up to 9.00 p.m. and those are very old people. They even go to work during weekends sometimes. When we look at them, we get inspired. They look very old and tired but they still find ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Article 95 gives us the responsibility to debate and resolve issues that are of concern to the people of this country. This is a sacrifice that I feel we can afford to give to this country. view

• 9 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me also take this opportunity to express my condolences, together with those of my family, the constituents of Suba South that I represent in this House, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party which I chair, and the minority side of the House to the family, friends and relatives of the late Simeon Nyachae. I want to say a few things regarding this fallen hero. All of us would attest that Simeon Nyachae was a great leader in this country. There are certain characteristics that he had that were admired by ... view
