• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: For some of us who have the read The Godfather by Mario Puzo, the fiction in that book is unbelievable. It is something that is beyond imagination. It is something that a writer like Mario Puzo could come up with. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if what is happening in Kenya today is put in context, it is stranger than fiction. We are talking about the issue of maize and that is not a new thing. During colonial days, there were various reports and commissions of inquiry that were established to look into the issues that were affecting the maize sector. During the Kenya African National Union (KANU) era, so many committees and commissions of inquiry were established to look into matters that were affecting the maize sector. Even during the era of the two previous governments before the current administration, ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: What is happening in the country has to do with leadership and integrity because that is where the problem lies. When you look at other sectors, be it the sugar industry, fertiliser and sometimes in areas that we thought were beyond action that would affect the nation like tourism, there is something that we must deal with as a nation in order to bring matters like these to an end. view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a time has come when we have to change strategy if we want to deal with this animal called grand corruption. If you look at how the whole saga in ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: is the Deputy President, who in all circumstances, it is clear that the evidence is pointing to him, and Article 143 of the Constitution does not--- view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at Standing Order 95, the only person whose conduct cannot be talked about in any form or shape is the President, Judge and a Head of State of a friendly Government. That will be completely out of order. I have not touched on any name or office of any person that attracts the operation of Standing Order 95. I also chose my words very carefully. I know the guilty are always afraid; I said, “if the Vice President,” and as far as I am concerned, there is no post such as the Vice ... view

• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the words I used was “if the vice president.” We can haggle over this, but we can check the HANSARD tomorrow. I chose the words very carefully. But all I am saying is that--- view
