The second one was done in plenary. This should also be done in the plenary because Kenyans are looking at the Senate now, and we want to participate fully. I take this opportunity to completely disagree with the Senator for Nairobi ...

Mr. Speaker Sir, let me request for my three minutes, starting from now, because I am getting into a new subject now. Let me now divert to the Statement by Sen. Hezena Lemaletian. Some time back we went to Rwanda, Kigali and I got a taxi. That taxi would not start to move because I did not put on my belt.

The Climate Change Act 2016 has since been amended to provide for the regulation ...

In respect of my appearance before the EACC on the specified date, I wish to clarify that I was at the EACC offices upon invitation. I believed that the invitation arose from the several complaints I had made to them regarding the misappropriation of funds in Marsabit County. Upon appearance at the EACC alongside my lawyer, I was informed by the investigating officer that the information required ...
