• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On 24th January, 2016, I presented to your office a Petition that was signed by some Members of the Vihiga County Assembly and a long list of residents of Vihiga. It was my expectation that the Petition would be presented today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the Order Paper, the Petition is not listed for today. So, when we got to that item, I wanted to get your guidance as to whether I can proceed and present the Petition or whether it could be slated for tomorrow or another day. I seek ... view

• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, listening to this answer, you even totally get discouraged asking any supplementary questions because it looks like nothing good can come from this particular Government. The story of Alex Madaga is a very sad story; a story of a young man with a promising future and a sole bread winner who lost his life through some negligence of some hospitals that she has named here. It is even more sad that after the incident happened the Government showed no remorse. There was no Government support, no representative at the burial, not even a message of condolences ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We represent people here and as I talk, I know what I am talking about.
