• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is happening in Kenya is deplorable. Kenyans are left at the mercy of bankers. Some of these international banks are making the highest profits in the world in their branches in Kenya. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance will, again, tell us about market forces, after the pockets of the money cartels are full, he would then intervene, or maybe they will use the regulator, behind the scenes, and things will stabilize the way they stabilized. It is irresponsible of this Parliament to go home, leave Kenyans with the threats of losing their ... view

• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want also to note that the Constitution promises us equality.
