• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We have seen schools being burnt. We have put a lot of emphasis on education. We have also put a lot of pressure on our teachers to perform. We want to appreciate the institutions which are doing very well in co-curricular activities because learning is not all about education and passing in examinations. We want to note the schools which do well in drama festivals, sports and other activities. view

• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology.

• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to contribute towards the County Assembly Powers and Privileges Bill. From the outset, I support this Bill. It is important that Members of any House, whether it is the Senate, the National Assembly or the county assembly, have procedures and their own privileges. Our county assemblies have come from far. Some of them did not even have a place to conduct their sittings. Some of them did not even have proper regulations. Looking at the Order Paper, I can see the Senate has finally realized its mandate of helping and overseeing the ... view

This money might ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: taxman cannot afford it. We cannot afford to increase more burdens to Kenyans. Children who are being born in this country cannot afford to come into a country which has many debts. We have enough resources in this country and we can plan and have a proper Budget. We do not even require the Supplementary Budget or we can consider it only when it is necessary. As I support, I encourage Members, especially the ones at the Committee level, to interrogate the Supplementary Budget, so that we can do justice to the budget process. view
