• 21 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join fellow hon. Members and Kenyans on the occasion of this State Opening of the Third Session of the Tenth Parliament.

• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am very pleased today, very pleased because of where we have got to. We were developing apart earlier on, but now we are going together. Going together is a joy because we will succeed. Kenya is a country of God.

• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: That is all we need! That is all we have needed for the last 20 years. That is all we have been arguing about. It is all because of small differences which made everything look big. But it is not! So, ladies and gentlemen, personally, I pray that we get God's own blessings and we continue now in a determined manner, to find a way in which we, Kenyans, shall come out as one nation. We shall forget those other things which were trying to divide us. "That you have your own land here! You have your home here!" Yet, ... view
