• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: In Nyeri, we have had a good successful story about it. We have an efficient system that ensures that money is reinvested back to the health centres.

The option that they were doing before, is known to everybody. It is important that we have the right leadership in this very important institution; as we, in the Kenya Kwanza Government, strive to put this country in the path of economic recovery. We can have the backing-sounding policies. Most important, we can establish an Industrial Development Bank (IDB) as it was in the Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (ICDC).

• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was just about to correct you, but you realized that I am Sen. Wamatinga. I rise, in support of this Motion.
