• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: have been if the Senator had enough funds for oversight? He would already been ahead, and he would even know whether some of the things being mentioned here are true or not. However, chances are that he has no funds and has a scanty office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to tell this country that it does not make any sense with the corruption we are talking about and with the way we are saying we want to check corruption when this House is not being given the money to do the work of oversight. We have been reduced to ... view

• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: I support the Report. I think the Governor was trying to defend his right of delivering services to the people of Taita-Taveta.
