• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: He is speaking to me and he knows me. We meet in other places. I want to inform the nation and this House that all flights are on schedule this evening. Everybody who is travelling in this country in the evening will travel. Everything is now back to normal. It is important to inform the country, so that people do not debate with emotions, but with the truth. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Everything is normal at JKIA. There are certain institutions that we should not encourage strikes, that is, airports and institutions concerned with security and health.

• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The second question about the same housing that Kenyans are asking is: “Where will the people of Kenya get houses?” The national Government has provided that fund to cushion and to allow Kenyans to get cheaper mortgages.
