• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that on the 29th October, 2020, a favourable judgement was issued by the High Court where 29 Acts of Parliament were declared null and void for noncompliance with that provision of the Constitution. The National Assembly, being dissatisfied with the outcome of the High Court proceeded to file Civil Appeal No. E284 of 2021 that has been pending before the Court of Appeal.

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you for also giving me an opportunity to make my contribution to this important and progressive Bill. I first want to begin by congratulating my neighbor Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, the Chairperson of the Committee on Education and, also the former Chair of that Committee, my good neighbor, Sen.

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: buildings where downstairs we have funny businesses including bars which is very unfortunate. Some of us who went to pioneer universities like The University of Nairobi, knew universities as centers of learning where we do serious business. It was where you do not just mix things anyhow. I must confess that there are universities that have been set in the countryside with beautiful facilities. A good example is Kisii University which is former Kisii College away from town with a field for students to engage in extra-curriculum activities and the likes. However, we have ignored our technical colleges for a ... view

There is a furniture business called Panesar Interiors on Mombasa Road. I passed by the other day and ... view
