• 19 May 2020 in Senate: is a House of revision where people come and they are measured. They look at things objectively. Even when we disagree, we do so respectably. Madam Temporary Speaker, this morning, our Committee on Finance and Budget was invited by the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) team to go and make submissions on some of the issues that have already been canvassed in this advisory opinion. This was because certainly the question was on which aspects of the Constitution need to be streamlined with regard to Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill.

• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I submit, as I support, that we should work to attain that endeavour. This is not ad hominem, personal or for the sake of the occupant of the seat.

• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since people started wearing masks, I think they are speaking from both ends of the mouth because some sound must come from somewhere.

The moment COVID-19 came and there is no official opposition then you are hearing what Meyers Arthur calls contradiction in the womb of the people.

• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. My senior and elder, Sen. Orengo who I have admired since my childhood has elucidated very well the role that we are supposed to play as a Parliament. Look at Socrates when he was criticizing Plato in his Republic.

The rule of law requires that you should execute and secure property and contracts. Whose property is this that is being secured during a ... view
