• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is not listening. He is talking. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even some of the drinks being promoted as energy drinks are actually alcoholic beverages. We must isolate such cases, so that people who come in a round-about manner to promote alcohol disguised as energy drinks are also made to face the law. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while the law provides drinking hours, this provision is being violated every day. It is like the Provincial Administration has turned a blind eye. Some of us who come from the rural areas, where local brew dens are plenty, know that the drinking hours are violated every day. ... view

• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter of the CDF amendment Bill is very important to some of us. I am privy to a conversation we had with the chairman where he actually, as early as last week, said he would make sure that he would not be here today. It is important because--- view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, allow me to thank my very good friend and a true Kenyan, hon. Keynan, for moving this very important Bill. This Bill should have been passed in this House a long time ago, because we live in a country where people who are thoroughly undeserving carry national honours they neither deserve nor have they earned, but thoroughly deserving Kenyans go around without honours which they richly deserve.

• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Just one more minute, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have said it here before that when police officers, in their line of duty and in protecting their lives, gun down thugs, the civil society in Kenya is always condemning them. I would want the civil society in Kenya to note and appreciate that policemen and women are also Kenyans with families and when thugs kill them, the thugs should similarly be condemned. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I urge the Government to provide the police with the necessary tools such as vehicles, proper housing and modern ... view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for noticing me. Like hon. Wavinya Ndeti, I was not yet born when the President was first elected to this House.

• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: As one of only 200 Kenyans privileged to be registered consulting engineers and Member of Parliament for Rarieda, I want to thank His Excellency the President more sincerely for what we have seen under his leadership. When he took over the leadership of this country in 2002, we did not have a single metre of tarmac road in Rarieda but by the time he is leaving, we have over 100 kilometres of tarmac road, 90 kilometres of which were done in the last four years. Your Excellency, I thank you. view
