• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second that the Senate do adjourn sine die . This may probably be my last speech in a Chamber of Parliament. Maybe, I will address the House in other capacities, but this is probably my last speech. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to, first of all, thank everybody, the Senators with whom we have had wonderful journey in the last four or five years.

• 21 Jun 2022 in Senate: I am also reminded about Churchill, who became Prime Minister almost by mistake during the war. He lived on to be the greatest English man alive. He has been voted many times as the greatest Briton alive, who came out of necessity. I am trying to say that we have gone through a very wonderful period. We have had a coalition, before many coalitions.

• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: There has been sibling rivalry. When a Bill originates from this House, sometimes you find the same Bill being originated in the National Assembly. These are good provisions. The only thing that I would like to add, is that Standing Orders emanate from the Constitution. They are as good as Law.

Cheruiyot, the Senator for Kericho County, that it is unfair to bring these amendments at this time. Remember this Report was only tabled yesterday and many of us have not ... view
