• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice and offer my condolences to the country for the loss of the 10 children. I also commend you for not making this about yourself and standing in honour of the children as opposed to hierarchies and other considerations. We are proud of you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I worked most of my life scooping dead bodies on Mombasa Road. The highest killer in this country after certain communicable diseases is our roads.
