• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of human rights. We involve ourselves in these human rights abuses. It is a hard issue to talk about because Members of Parliament are also involved in this. We talk of cattle rustling and rape in the 21st Century. Leaders are involved in these things.

• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Lastly, there is information regarding insecurity which is very critical. Occasionally, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) gathers information which is then trivialised and politicised. In the end, we get the wrong analyses.

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On the issue of corruption, the list that has been forwarded by the EACC is pathetic. I do not agree with this. How can you accuse Kavuludi of failing to surrender imprest? I know that the Governor of my county government is corrupt. Who should be arrested? Is it Hezron Awiti, Member of Parliament for Nyali, or Cyprian Awiti, the Governor of Homa Bay? So, the President should return this list to the EACC, so that we can receive another list after proper investigations have been carried out, we discuss it and recommend. Let us not go--- view

• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is a very good opportunity for the Members, because we have really worked hard up to this moment. I want to say that whenever we enact laws, let us do so for prosperity and let all the laws that we are coming up with unite us. Let them create love in this nation.
