• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Assistant Minister prepares to come and give a better answer on Tuesday, is it in order for me to also ask the following? Since another incident like that happened just a few weeks ago and the Government gave indication of the kind of measures it will put in place, that he also clarifies what kind of measures had already been put in place for that incident to happen just barely two weeks again in almost the same situation? view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the same vein, this weekend, I read an article by one journalist, Barrack Muluka, who also intimated that the Member for Khwisero has never given his Maiden Speech here which, again, is a fallacy, because the Member for Khwisero has spoken and even asked Questions. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to give my views on this particular Bill and, of course, to support it and to ask some clarification on some issues which I am sure the Minister will be looking at as he goes further into developing it.

• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those very few remarks, I want to support and say that we really have again shortened the time on this Bill. We are also debating it. Mr. Minister we have shortened the time on Bill and we are debating.

• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir! view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it really in order for the Member for Makadara to say that “in most of these cases of domestic and sexual violence that our beautiful girlfriends and wives are to blame” without clearly explaining what he means?” This is a public Floor.
