• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senator in order to continue to cast aspersions when he knows very well that the Supreme Court of this land said elections were held in a fair and competitive manner? We all know the results. We cannot continue to belabour that point. It has been ruled and a decision made and accepted by all. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is in order for him to continue to mislead the nation that a decision made by court is not binding? view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is, indeed, going out of the way. The hon. Senator stood to contribute to a Motion on resettling of IDPs, but instead, he is taking a long route to create an atmosphere that is not conducive.

• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that there is a leadership in this country, in the name of President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. view

• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my point is that even though there could be some documents, there will even be no system of verification or authentication of those documents. But as Sen. (Dr.) Machage said, indeed, we can dare to open the Pandora’s Box. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I take that information well. But I will still stand by my point that, yes, we do and may have some documents, but it is almost impossible to call up to absolute convictions that any fact adduced here in this House, over this Motion, when it is referring to events that date as far back as 1895, can be absolutely authenticated or affirmed beyond reasonable doubt.
