• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I find this a very important Bill to speak to even if it is for a minute or two because I think finally this Senate is starting to implement its obligations under the Bill of Rights. Kenya must move towards what at that time we called a human rights state.

I think whatever happens in one country impacts on another. When elections were stolen in Kenya in 2007/2008, we started this framework of a power sharing agreement. Zimbabwe stole an election immediately thereafter under the same formula. Finally, in Cote d’Ivoire President, Gbagbo, tried to rig an election with the hope of power sharing. Now, we are seeing an emerging trend in Africa, particularly ... view
