• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a serious decision affecting the finances of this country. Article 201 of the Constitution that I have just read obligates all State organs, Treasury and the National Assembly which are involved in making decisions as to whether we need to increase the debt ceiling via a sessional paper, to extensively consult the people of Kenya.

You may have an interest in trying to block someone, but remember this benefit is not only going to be received by the retired Prime Minister.
