• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I rise to support the appointment of Major Twalib Mbarak who, according to his biography, has all the qualifications and experience to help eradicate corruption in this country. He comes from a very humble background and has been well trained; rising through the ranks in different Government security agencies, including the former KACC; to be where he is today without a godfather.

• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: THAT, aware that sugarcane production in the country has declined significantly in the past few years due to the numerous problems facing the sector including high cost of sugar production, cane poaching, low productivity and heavy indebtness on the publicly owned sugar milling plants, imprudent business decisions and corruption; concerned that the drop in the sugarcane production has resulted in shortage as well as high cost of sugar in the county; noting that traditionally, the Kenyan cane growing model has operated on an out-growers model whereby farmers are supported to grow cane on their farms and in turn, they are ... view
