• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak to this Bill, which I support. I wish to reiterate the fact that some of the proposals by the Treasury are quite ridiculous.

• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I loved Moi for the YK92. He mentored a lot of youths through it and stood out as a president. He would come to our school, where we had a special Nyayo Choir. We had Nyayo parties every closing day because he would send money to our school. He passed through our school and encountered a girl who had a skin disorder, who he had treated. view
