• 8 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: Constitution of Kenya 2010 are serial violators. They continue to have a large number of individuals from a single community and have continued to discriminate against people living with disabilities in their employment of staff. They continue to have gender disparities. That is unacceptable. The Constitution speaks clearly on the need for equal opportunity. The management teams of these institutions somehow think that they are immune and that there will be no punishment.

• 29 Jun 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker. The issue of land is very important. Millions of Kenyans were dispossessed during the colonial period. Until now, there are thousands of people who are land-poor, and are living in squalid and miserable conditions on their own land.
