• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this chance to congratulate Parliament and in particular the three Committees that worked overnight to look at those regulations, more so, the Committee on Delegated Legislation. The Members who sit in that Committee pushed so hard for us to discuss today what we are discussing. I want to tell them thank you so much. I was privileged to sit in the Committee to discuss these regulations. They have serious shortfalls that can complicate the affairs of this country and put us into more dangerous situation than the one we witnessed ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will conclude by saying that we have given ourselves a new Constitution.

• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with hon. Martha Karua and the rest of the Members of this House who have said that this is not a matter of Christians and Muslims. It is criminals and evil people who are doing this. We cannot tolerate such people, going out there to do all sorts of things. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I would not want us, as leaders of this country, to play politics with this matter because it is a very serious matter. If we bring into this House the rumours that are in the social media, we will lose our sense of direction as a House and as a country, and we fail to provide leadership to ensure security in this country. view

• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As much as I appreciate what the Assistant Minister has said that the website is functional, I would like to seek a clarification.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. If a mistake comes from your side because hon.
