• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The fact that somebody is flying a flag will not cause traffic jams in Nairobi. We know that for sure. Let us not go astray. I conclude by saying that despite the importance and the intrinsic merit of discussing this, I oppose the amendment. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Can you allow us to contribute a bit? view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Sorry, I am short. Remember that the Inspector-General could be a civilian. That is my understanding from the Constitution. He did not have to be a uniformed person. So, the argument that uniformed persons must be accommodated to six is too demanding. Actually, a quorum of six is really debilitating to the Commission. I am sure about that. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, I am opposing it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

We should think of whether by reducing or increasing a Budget it will contribute to the programme goals that we agreed on. That did not happen and I hope that it will not continue in future. Secondly, we talked about reducing the wage bill. But there is a cost of reducing the wage ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thirdly, I support the idea of eliminating pending bills. I am in the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee; if you look at the amount of money being used in defending litigation and fines, it is much bigger than the Kshs40 million you are talking about. Perhaps, if we paid our pending bills, we would save some money.
