We need this time to go and talk to our constituents. Insecurity is a major problem we are facing in this country and we need to go out there, as the leadership of this country and opinion leaders, and sit down with our constituents and discuss this issue. We should ensure that we consult and discuss issues with the security committees at the constituency level. I have been concerned about certain things that have happened. All my colleagues have been ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was referring to “ bonga points” that one tries to accumulate by opposing anything that the President has done.

Temporary Deputy Speaker, considering where Kenya is and we are bordering countries which have major problems, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Leader of the Majority Party who has brought this Bill at this time on behalf of the Government so that we can do what we had appended our signatures to.

As time moves on, we need to put in place proper law which is going to make sure that we develop our fisheries industry. view
