• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Limo for raising a very pertinent issue.

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I stand here as a sportsperson. The nation and the Members of Parliament need to listen to this. What the betting industry has done to the sports industry in this country is more than any other industry has ever done. I want the Leader of the Majority Party to listen. I know he is very passionate about betting because of his religion. The problem of betting cannot be solved by killing an industry.

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: way. Our nation has become a nation that is run by cartels.
