• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just to request you to allow me on a point of order. As it is required by rules of debate, when a statement is made, we have a right to challenge it on a point of order.

• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I applaud that petitioner and point out to the whole country that whatever he is quoting in respect of Nairobi City County is not limited to this county alone. This mess is in all our counties with the exception of Meru and Kiambu counties. It is in only those counties that we have confirmed in our Committee that the revenue that is being realised by Gov.
