• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Another issue hon. Speaker is that it is very unfortunate that we have lost a fellow colleague, hon. Member of Parliament. He was shot. Where was he shot at?

There is a crack somewhere that needs ... view

• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support this list as I have said because we need to work as a team. This country needs all of us. There are more challenging issues which we have but we tend to make them look trivial and cheap. We should concentrate on issues that affect this country to reduce poverty and overpricing of goods. We should also address the issue of the teachers and the principals who have increased school fees to Kshs100,000. view
