• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: proposing in our Committee an amendment that apart from just saying “to the East Africa and partner states”, we are saying “East Africa partner states that will comply or that will reciprocate” because if they are not reciprocating, then why should we reciprocate in Kenya?

• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Finally as I close, I just want to appeal to all the Members that as we go to the constituencies, let us focus on issues of development as opposed to politicking that has been going on and let us give the Jubilee Government time to deliver on its promises. view
