• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon Speaker. As we break for recess, I would like to thank the people of Kasipul Kabondo for voting for me. I am now almost two years old in the National Assembly. As a young man, being protocol order No.7 of the Republic of Kenya is not a small thing. Thank you, hon. Speaker for steering us for this long. We have learnt. We are no longer new. I would like to request all Members that, as we break for recess, let us take our time to get the feel of what our citizens want us to do ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I happen to have shared the last moments with Senator Kajwang’ on Friday in Oyugis. Though the moments were a bit tensed, I remember him telling me lastly: “Osele you are brave. Gini gore to dhi.” It was a moment that reminded me that Senator Kajwang’ is somebody who would not hide his feelings from anybody.

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Allow me to put it on record that I am a Member of this Committee. There are provisions of the Finance Bill that were also to be amended touching on the National Social Security Fund and National Hospital Insurance Fund. This is about the workers.

• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am sorry to interrupt hon. Wandayi. This is a very important national issue about the boda boda industry. However, the fact that hon. Ochieng of Ugenya and hon. Wandayi of Unguja are the people proposing and seconding may make it look like they are sorting a local problem using the national means.

• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I agree that it is necessary to have our Cabinet Secretaries fly the flags. It is very necessary. It is an historical thing.
