• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, what I want to say is that you will see eventually that this Bill is going to contribute to the adherence of the rule of law and the proper democratic governance of the Republic of Kenya. This is especially the case when each State officer or public officer will be placed somewhere that is consistent with his or her role. Therefore, I want to appeal to you that this is consistent.

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to move this Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I bet to move that the Order of Precedence Bill be now read the second time.

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: some of the events are supposed to be conducted. You realize that since the enactment of the new Constitution, there has been a lot of confusion, not because there is lacuna in the law, but simply because different entities, or different individuals, have abused the new law, and tried to outsmart other people.
