• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: I request that you give me three minutes. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if Sen. Halake had followed my argument logically, she would have realised that I am speaking to the dictates of our Constitution. As leaders, of course we can provide a conducive environment against the war against corruption but we cannot pretend to be the champions and people with the constitutional duty on the war against corruption. The reason we have many politicians trumpeting and telling us that we need to support the war against corruption is because it only appears to be targeted at certain people that they have political grudges with. I saw the list of ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I never said anything like that. I think my good friend had a good lunch and probably missed a few words that I said. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: The point that I am making is that the easiest way for us to lose the war on graft is when politicians pretend to be the champions. As a politician, I can only support the war against corruption as far as it advances my political course. As a country, if we are serious on the war against graft, let politicians keep off.

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you know Sen. M. Kajwang' just walked in so he did not follow the full length of my argument.

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have said, and I will try and use very simple English, that do not demolish anybody’s house especially the downtrodden, no matter the rumors. Then I added that if Sen. Malalah’s house which is rumored--- He knows about this rumor because it was given prominence in the newspapers that his house is rumored to be on riparian land. So, if the newspapers were writing such stories and he has clarified that the stories are false, then what is the issue about? Is it not a fact that it was covered? view
