• 29 Mar 2022 in Senate: I beg to lay the same before the Floor of the House. view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Kericho County is a good friend of mine and my neighbour. He is a very promising upcoming Senator. I wish him well in his political career. However, I want to ask whether he is in order to cast aspersions on my name and position as Chairperson of Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights by alleging, on the Floor of the House, that I received phone calls, so that I can write my report in the version I presented before the Floor. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, can ... view

• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: profession are watching and could be wondering. Can you substantiate? Who called me, when and what directives did I get? view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to congratulate and support the position that has been taken by the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget, Sen.

There is no way the other House can invoke the process of passing the budget before we agree on the share that goes ... view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: This has been determined by the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. How contemptuous can our colleagues in the other House be? They want us to yield to pressure that we should ignore court orders and constitutional process and go ahead and deliberate and pass the Division of Revenue Bill. With all humility, that is not the way to go. view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: A lot has been said about our conduct as elected Members of Parliament (MPs) and more so Senators. If you read our Kenyan Constitution, it is based on a limited government.
