• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Order, hon. Senators! Hon. Senators, this matter is not about to go away. You will agree with me that this was the basis under which we went to the Supreme Court for an advisory opinion. The Supreme Court agreed with this House with regard to that procedure.

Being a former Attorney-General, you will appreciate that the Attorney-General himself feels as if he is out of the loop. So, we are working at making sure that all relevant organs become party to the process. However, you have made a good suggestion. view
• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Who was contributing? The Mover was Sen. Mwazo, who was still moving. But I think he had to rush somewhere. Sen. Obure, are you holding brief? view
