• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The revelations that have come to the Floor of this House are extremely shocking, that a Cabinet Secretary (CS), an officer appointed and paid by the taxpayers of this country, can have such blatant disregard for the proceedings of this House, is not only unprecedented but also completely unheard of. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government can run but cannot hide. Whatever he does, eventually, he will appear before this Committee before long and answer to the questions that Senators have about the National Integrated Identity Management System ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: interdependently engage and co-exist with each other. When Parliament summons you, it is the people of Kenya that have called you to give an explanation.

It is a shame. We are ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to react to the Communication that you have given by requesting my colleagues, fellow Senators, to turn up in large numbers.

• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to make a comment on the circus that we are being treated to, as a House, by this Committee. To the best of my knowledge, I concur with the sentiments raised by the Senator for Isiolo that somehow, as a House, we appear to have lost track on this issue. This is because, earlier on, there was a ruling from the Chair that this matter be taken up by a Committee of the Whole House. You will recall that when the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Health appeared before us, it was the ... view
