• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I remember I brought an amendment here which was seconded by the Member of Balambala, Aden Abdikadir, to amend the CBK law in order to allow for lower denominated transactions in Treasury Bills. I remember, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you were on the Chair that day. You lauded the contributors of that Motion and said that they had researched very well. Indeed, we had, as a team.

• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: There is nobody who is 100 per cent perfect or somebody without blemish. We need to know that we are Kenyans who invest in these people. That is why we must, in the current continued heat on the debate about the National Youth Service (NYS) saga, ask the individuals who are being mentioned to carry their cross and stop blaming the National Alliance (TNA) or United Republican Party (URP). They should not bring communities into this game. When some of us stood and said we are loyal, soldiers of truth and that we are loyalists of Jubilee Government and the ... view
