• 3 Mar 2016 in Senate: Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all know that health is a devolved function. Different counties and health facilities in counties have different needs. I want the Chairperson to explain to us what informed the decision of the Government usurping that role of counties to equip their facilities.

• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that I am contented with the measures that are being taken to ensure that our athletes travelling to Brazil are safe.

• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to bring it to your attention that I have three versions of this petition. I have the original version which bears the extra signatures by residents. We got a letter from the Clerk’s Office saying that it did not meet the threshold.
