• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: I will do it very quickly. Give me one minute, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be done. This is similar to Mr. Alex Madaga’s case who died under similar circumstances. I sought for a statement here from the same Committee you have directed the Senator to direct the statement to.

I think this is the fourth and last delegation that is coming from Vihiga. At the end of this attachment I think all the MCAs will have gone through the process. I want to tell them that the Public Accounts Committee is one of the most important committees in our oversight role as Parliament. I want to encourage them to ensure that the funds that we send to Vihiga County benefit the people of that county. It is ... view
• 6 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join the Gracious Senator in saying that indeed it is a very sad day. I have two or three issues to raise in my point of order.
