• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it could as well mean that there is something that needs to be orderly. I request to indulge you under Standing Order No.45 now that you have rearranged the Order Paper. That in the course of debate should the Whips signal to us that they now have the requisite numbers to execute the order that we have skipped, allow us to pause the debate, conduct Division and go back to the Motion on the Floor. view

• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds for a job well done. This is what we expect of our committees. That is to respond to issues of great concern to the people we represent in this House. view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Pension funds are essential tools and financial instruments that we have abused in this country for a long time.
