• 25 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with your direction completely and I would add that when that time comes for you to give a comprehensive consideration to this matter, also take into account the fact that this Senate can also, in my view, debate and form an opinion on matters or Bills which do not necessarily concern the counties because the Senate as Parliament, under Article 94, is also the protector of the Constitution which also contains the Bill of Rights and other issues.

• 24 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Lesuuda for having given me one minute. I was once the director of Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) in the 1970s when things were running well. I recall receiving a delegation from Botswana who came to study how we run the KMC.
