• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on livestock mitigation programmes, the President and the Government have taken responsibility and said that they were going to launch mitigation programmes. Unfortunately, many livestock keepers who thought that there was a genuine mitigation programme going on sold their animals to the Government but, two months down the line, they are in hotels in Nairobi, suffering. They are not even being paid their own dues. view

• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The HANSARD will bear me witness. I talked of “innocent Kenyans” and that there is a phobia so that immediately something happens, the police harass members of the Somali community specifically, and the Muslims. Immediately something happens in down town, the police start harassing people in South “C” and Eastleigh. I am asking about innocent Kenyans. We do not want to protect any criminal. view
