• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Corruption has brought disgrace, disrepute and desperation. However, his directive as the President on corrupt practices by specific individuals and institutions has given hope to Kenyans of all walks of life against the belief that nobody can reach the untouchables and the big fish.

• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Our people are poor but more informed than in earlier years. After the promulgation of the new Constitution, they have known a lot of what they are expected to do. We have a Government that has good intentions for its citizens. For example, the Leader of Minority highlighted a number of issues that are strong enough to keep us united, and work for the benefit and the interests of our people when we resume back.

This is particularly identified in the pastoralist and arid areas where there is quite ... view
