• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I wanted to speak to the issue of performance and efficiency, which has already been spoken to by my colleagues. I do not wish to repeat that, but the need for an inclusive advisory board and the review body that is independent is quite evident. I will support the amendments that will be brought. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: This law is pro-poor. It is meant for the common person. It is contains issues that would otherwise be considered negligible. It is taking care of people living with disabilities and affirmative action groups like women, although my sister Millie said it was a bit inadequate on women, which I agree with; I hope there will be a few other amendments that will speak to that.

• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. First, I would like to congratulate Hon. Cecilia Ngetich for bringing this Bill.
