• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will continue from where I left off. The operative word here is “when each House of Parliament”. This Bill has gone through the Second Reading in the National Assembly and it has been lost. The direction I would like to get from the Chair is that having been lost in the other House in the Second reading, even if we go ahead and vote and it was to pass, of what consequence is it? This is because for a constitutional amendment to be seen to have passed through the Second Reading, it should get the ... view

Because of that misinformation, I want to congratulate the six women Senators who are here, including Sen. Lesuuda, Sen. Kisasa, Sen. Mugo, Sen. Sijeny, Sen. Omondi and Sen. Ong’era. Out of 18 women Senators in this House only ... view
