• 1 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support the amendment Bill by Sen. Cheruiyot. Indeed, he has come up with good amendments, for example to Section 32 with regard to the deputy governor. The procedures and timelines with regard to the appointment of a deputy governor are indicated very well in the Bill. I would urge the Senator to add another amendment on how to appoint another deputy governor after the previous one resigns. He should also give timelines for it.

• 25 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement by the Senate Majority Leader. It is unfortunate and shameful for the Members of the National Assembly.

We are here to participate in law making function of Parliament by considering, debating and approving Bills ... view

Without roads, we cannot even develop as a country. A reliable and well maintained road system offers access to businesses, health, employment and even education, all of which stimulate economic and social development in an area. A fail in ... view

These incidents have raise questions on whether the requisite construction standards were observed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
