• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I meant the words that I used. I did not mean any other words other than the words I used. If in the reckoning of the Senate Majority Leader those words meant the Deputy President, then I cannot help him. Do you know that in Kenya today, there are presidents and vice presidents? I did not say the Vice President of the Republic of Kenya. However, in relation to the President, I said the President of the Republic of Kenya. I was very clear about his powers and his authority. When I used the word “vice ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the words I used were three words, “if the vice president.” We can check the HANSARD.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point that I was trying to make and, in fact, that is why I do not like when people overreact.

Therefore, in trying to reshape this programme, which the NASA team had proposed and that is what they are trying to do now, the Jubilee Government is seeing the light of day, eight years later. In responding to this Statement, can the ... view
