• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request a Statement from the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons.

• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: In the Statement, could the Minister also verify whether the artiste called Ding Dong who was hosted by a Mr. Denis Oliech of Fishbone Events was given a work permit to allow him to promote a concert that was called “Swaggerific” which promoted and encouraged immoral and pornographic behaviour among underage Kenyan audiences which was broadcast all over the world by YouTube and thereby damaging our image, as pornographic promoters?

• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to ask for a decent place of burial is a constitutional right. However, in this country, be it in Nairobi, Mombasa or anywhere else, there are no cemeteries. As you know, we had a cemetery situation which caused us a problem.
