• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: What am I trying to say in a nutshell? I am trying to say that the spirit of that great man who was a peacemaker--- In fact, when he was making peace, he had to hear people from both sides. Sen. Dullo has been a peacemaker in another capacity. Of course, that is a name she is given when she is out there and not when we are here. In all honesty, I hope we will build this country to be a democratic and open society as a bottom line. From what I gathered from my association and relationship with ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: If you live in a society where people are in art--- For example, at one time the famous Nominated Member of Parliament from Nakuru, Hon.

• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, without taking a lot of time, I hope this House will join me in paying tribute to the great Kenyan. At the end, we will send this profound sympathies and condolences to the family of the late Sen. Mohammed Yusuf Haji. What a man! I hope from that stock where he came from, greater people will come to help this nation become greater. view

• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, nearly every Senator has spoken in tribute to our departed colleague, Sen. Haji. I must say this cannot be the last word. Each one of us even given an hour, two or three, they will never be short of anything to say about this great man.

I conclude by saying that there have been some remarks that have come to the Floor about Sen. ... view

Whether or not somebody is on your land and you think they do not deserve to be there and they are unwilling to move out of that land, the ... view
