• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was speaking on the issue of the Inspector-General of police. Does it not concern members of the public and especially we, leaders, that the Inspector General – not directly but through his agents – managed to give security equipment like teargas to members of Kakamega county government to the extent that they teargassed us? These are the things that we must interrogate. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: This week, there has been a big debate which started last week about the need for the National Assembly to vote wisely so as to enhance the possibility of us achieving the two-thirds gender rule. There is no greater opportunity of achieving this than to rethink the structure of the Constitution through this amendment, so that we capture once and for all, the need for us to allow our women to participate fully in governance. The few who are apprehensive about giving a plunge on the number of people that can be nominated are saying the structure of running Government ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we lost Seth Lugonzo whom we shall bury on Saturday. For that reason, I will not be able to attend the burial of Her Excellency Mama Lucy Kibaki because I will attend the burial of Seth Lugonzo, a former Assistant Minister who was an age mate and colleague of hon.

• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I accept to be informed by the Senator for Kiambu. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the Member for that information. Equally, Sen. Wamatangi, what you are saying is true. You merely heard about it but we are the ones who did it.

• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge young politicians to read the history of the politics of the world. Senator, if you bothered to read the history of the world, you would know that those informal conversations are the ones which eventually become formal, to the extent that when the United States of America (USA) joined the World War, the decision to do so was taken on the stairs in the White House. It was not taken in the Congress. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: I, therefore, caution members of the public that there is a mischievous attempt to bring this question the same time that members of the public are voting. If you bring it at a time when the public will have been given enough negative propaganda that the Senate is toothless and does not add value, they can very easily vote “No” for us having a Senate in this country. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: With those many remarks, I support. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view

Could he substantiate that, failure to which he should withdraw and apologise? view
