• 21 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: in the cases in which I and the Nairobi Law Monthly were charged with many counts of sedition, he was in office when I was served with the detention order under the Preservation of Security Act.

I am sure that the Assistant Minister has no objection to that proposal. So, when the Statement Order comes up, ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It cannot be so, because there is no way the Question would appear on the Order Paper at the request of the Questioner without the Chair’s direction.
