• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the amendment. While supporting the amendment, I want to say that these are the kind of statements that we introduce just through the mentality of Clause 29. This is some archaic and despotic mentality of neo-colonialism where somebody does not want to believe that agencies that have been put to preside over these functions can be incompetent.

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think we have moved an edge near where we are going as a country in so far as private security is concerned. It is a key component in complementing the work done by our security agencies in this country. I am praying for the time when we will put stringent measures where those firms that have developed proper monitoring shall be allowed to have their people hold guns and assist our security persons, as it happens in Uganda.

• 18 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: for the cheaper sugar. The end result is that we will end up with no sugar company in the Republic of Kenya. So, we will kill our own industries. It would be important for the Government of the Republic of Kenya to see what we are not doing for our millers in terms of cost of production to lower the prices to the level where we become competitive with these products or cheap sugar that is being imported into this country. One fact is clear that we still have old machines. Therefore, we need to look at efficiency during production ... view
