• 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Senator for Bungoma say that what the Chairperson said was preposterous? My understanding of preposterous is utterly foolish, senseless, absurd, lack of common sense. Is he in order? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I do agree with you that this is a straight forward matter. The Standing Order that deals with matters subjudice is Standing Order No. 92(4) which I think you also alluded to. I do not understand why my Chairman, the Senator for Embu County, will still insist for the Speaker to make a pronunciation on this matter when he is guided byStanding Order No. 92 (4) which says The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Sang that the information they sought is public information and must be provided to this House. We are entitled to it.

• 8 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate them for taking advantage of the programme that you initiated. I hail you for initiating the programme of empowering our county assemblies. County assemblies are very vital and key in ensuring that devolution succeeds.
