• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the morning, we were discussing about security and many other issues. Let me say that some of the things we are discussing will only come to pass when we sincerely and purposely decide to behave as members of one nation. We should not engage in blame games.

• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: I want to raise an issue of great concern, and that is the issue of leaving out people with physical challenges from the committee membership.
