• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Sen. Wamatangi, you are my very good friend and I am a very eloquent guy; you must listen to the very end. You will get a lot of benefit.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have become very paranoid in this country, since I do not know which other context to give it. For a long time we, the people from the Coast region were stereotyped as “wale ... view
• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to withdraw those words because initially I had referred to you and thought that, as decorum, I need to pull back those words. I am apologetic about that matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, the whole regime has been politicized. We have become extra sensitive. That is why I am saying that rather than use our personal discretion to say who has committed an act of hate speech, let us use the institutions that are there to arbitrate over these matters.

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I spoke with similar fashion when I was in the Committee, our good Chairman who has known me for over 20 years now, Sen. Mutahi Kagwe, actually did inform Sen. Leshore that this is how I usually speak. I do not know any other way to speak. But in certain instances, when we need to camouflage, I can speak in that manner. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these charges are not supported by law.

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, I want to inform Sen. Wetangula that it was deliberate of this Committee not to state the way the vote went or who voted in which direction to maintain the bi-partisanship nature of this House. It is curious to know how Sen. Wamatangi knows how the vote went. I wish to inform Sen. Wetangula that the Chairman decided not to vote after he went round the table. So, six members said they were for impeachment and four said they were not for it. It was agreed that the Chairman does not vote but it was curious ... view
