However, I congratulate my friend, hon. Kajuju, for this Motion. This is, indeed, what it means to represent our people. When we come to the Floor of this House, we have to bring issues that matter to the people whom we represent. So, she should receive my congratulations. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am guided. Rarely do I take all the ten minutes, anyway. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I also want to turn on to the question of law, as you guided earlier on. If you look at the law, you will find that sometimes societies get ahead of the law; I think that is what is happening in this particular case.

• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I travel on the Nyeri Road through Embu and the drivers of the miraa vehicles are reckless; you do not want to be on the road when they are driving.

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion and congratulate Hon. Zuleikha for bringing this Motion.
