• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in case Sen. Hassan does not recall, this House just voted unanimously to have you as our temporary speaker for the day. So, as I was saying before I was interrupted by the distinguished Senator for Mombasa, all services must be transferred to the counties but services cannot just be transferred in a vacuum.
