• 14 Oct 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your wise ruling. I want to say that in one of the decisions you quoted, it was about a white kanzu . Of late, k anzus come in various colours and patterns for the information of my colleagues. This is not a traditional regalia.

• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Chairperson say that the youth and women through the Youth and Women Enterprise Funds are given Kshs500,000 and Kshs1,000,000, respectively, through LSOs and LPOs.

• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is true that we are Members of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, but this was a specific Statement sought by a Member of this House. It is asking for certain issues that relate to the interest of Kenyans. We, as Members, can either seek for clarification or question why the Government is doing one thing in one way or the other. Is the Chairperson in order to say that we cannot ask where a certain Member may have asked certain questions that are in the interest of Kenyans? view
• 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What we are seeing this afternoon is not different from what Sen. Haji wore at the commencement of this Senate. I cannot remember whether it was at The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) or County Hall, but I remember you made a ruling yourself.
