• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there is need to regulate the sugar which is entering the country. A sample needs to be given so that we do not bring mercury instead. We need to know whether the said sugar is not in Kenya so that we do not kill the sugar industry here.

• 7 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: (Nandi CWR, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the first petitioner on the National Prayer Day.

• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my own behalf, the people of Nandi, Nakuru and the youth of Kenya, I wish to convey my condolences to the family of the late Senator Victor Prengei. He was representing youth issues selflessly.

Speaker, my prayer is that the youth of the Ogiek community be remembered in this nation because he was the first Member of Parliament from that community. We know the devil has killed him. The ... view
