• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the great people of Bomet County, I vote no to this particular massive instrument of impunity. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Motion that helps the Senate to determining how governors are handling resources in our counties. Both avenues are important to the Senate. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: I tend to think the perception outside there that the fairest way is the Plenary, was a creation of ourselves recently.

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to complete what I was talking about last week. A Constitution is an important document that guides development framework, ethos of a country, and also an instrument for good governance. Therefore, any amendment brought to it must be very important. My expectation to this instrument is that it should have been presented in a very utilitarian manner.

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this fundamental process of amending our Constitution. Let me begin with what Sen. (Dr.) Zani has highlighted. Before I read this constitutional view
