• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: In the constituency I represent, the dream of everybody is to acquire a home. Every time one gets a good job or does business, the focus is always to own a home. If people can be educated enough, it is a good thing and we need to take advantage of it. We should not allow it to flop. On manufacturing, I am quite excited because in most of the constituencies, we have Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions including mine. If we continue to embrace this and tell our youths that it is not only the white collar job ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. On corruption, we keep on saying that we are being fought or our communities are being fought.

• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Building Surveyors Bill, 2017. Building surveyors are barely recognized. They cover a wide range starting with design, construction, maintenance, repair and the general supervision. In most urban areas or cities, people just construct buildings. Other than Government buildings, any other common citizen who is constructing a building is not aware of building surveyors.
