• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: This Motion will help us to link up with the grassroots. I hope that Senators will bring the message of reconciliation to the grassroots and that we are not engaged in hate speech. We must bring communities together to work towards development. In my county, I move around with everybody regardless of his or her political affiliation. They know that I am their leader and Senator. We all talk the same language of peace and development. I recommend the same to my fellow Senators. I beg to support. view

• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for acknowledging me as Sen. Sitwila Amos Wako and former Attorney-General, in that order.

When it went to the National Assembly, it was moved by the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, but there was ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I almost considered it during Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s proposal. However, I noticed that I am new in politics. I am now realizing that if you are called a party leader, you carry some weight. For example, in political gatherings and everywhere else, political leaders are accorded that title. I also want to be called a party leader in view of my seniority. Therefore, what better thing than to form a political party and ensure I am elected. If I visit Nandi County and there are many speakers, for example, MPs and other leaders, while being addressed ... view
