• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I was saying, here in Parliament we need to invest seriously in sports because we cannot have a small stuffy gym. A place one cannot exercise properly, while we utilise a lot of Government funds. It is high time as Parliament we also invested in sports. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: They should consult quietly. I also wanted to talk about sports tourism. It has now become a high earning sector. We are seeing even ordinary Kenyans travelling to various places in this country.

• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: put a timeframe when the accounting officer should sign any contract which is brought to his attention. Clause 6(3) says that an accounting officer of procurement entity should ensure that all contracts are cleared by the Attorney General.
