• 4 May 2021 in Senate: I urge that as Senate, please, let us support this. On areas where one thinks that there are issues that need to be addressed, we can still address them in the future. For now, let us support the amendment Bill. As I said, I do not want to keep on talking and saying there are unconstitutional issues because several lawyers looked into that. For anything that would come, there would be people arguing because from their point of view, they are not satisfied with certain issues. view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: There will never be a time when everybody will be satisfied, including in our homes. Even when we are looking after our children, there could be one who thinks that dad favors some over others. It is a natural phenomenon. For those who are agitated or opposing for certain reasons, join us to pass the amendment Bill. Moving forward, we will support any other amendment that you bring in future. view

We need to call ourselves for a small meeting and ask whether we have we lived up to our calling. Madam Deputy Speaker, without much ado, I am happy. I was indisposed, but I was able to midwife my team to come up with this Report. I request that we support it. view

• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay on the Table the report on the Petition concerning the irregular purchase of the National Bank of Kenya (NBK) building in Eldoret by the Uasin Gishu County Executive.
