• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, is it in order for the Senate Majority Leader to mislead the House in stating that I quoted a few verses in the Bible and more or less endorsed drunkenness? I said that the first miracle of Jesus Christ was to change water into wine. He challenged me and said that the wine of those days was not alcoholic.

• 11 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I wish to congratulate the Mover of this Motion, Sen. Elachi. It is a very important Motion. In fact, I think she is doing injustice to the intentions of this Motion. I think she is limiting herself too much on the issue of armed forces. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there is one area where Kenya does not need any lobbying; it is in the area of our troops working in peace making operations of the UN and even of the African Union (AU) because we have established a reputation since ... view
