• 8 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this question came before the “handshake”. I think what we are dwelling on are events that had happened before the handshake. The handshake is a new dawn which calls for us not to go back to old wounds which may not reflect well on the important agenda of unifying Kenya. I feel that if we dwell on this subject we will be dwelling on old wounds. If we can remember, in his address to this Parliament, he dwelt much on the unity that we should focus on. He said that we should forgive and forget what has ... view

Now, under the circumstances we are having a situation where somebody could pick his girlfriend as his deputy. She is chosen because of her image.
