• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to congratulate Sen. Ochillo George Mbogo Ayacko in his swearing in as the Senator for Migori County. I met him when he was appointed to serve in the First National Council for Persons with Disabilities Board in 2004 when I was only 22 years old.

• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pardon my voice. I just wanted to make one statement and say that this is a very timely Petition. I would want to ask the House to favourably look at it, especially now that we are in the process of printing new currency for use by Kenyans. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.1 gives discretion to the Speaker, based on traditions; that he may allow people to speak. I stand to support this Statement. Indeed, the KMC would be a great income earner if it was well managed. This is because 89 per cent of this Country is Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL). That means that many people depend on livestock. So, it is a disservice to see the kind of deaths and lack of proper management of the institution, with regard to the holding back of the facility. I think Mr. Learamo, who is the current ... view
