• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I thank Sen. Orengo. We, as the young Senators in this House, realize that we stand on the shoulders of giants. We do not take it for granted that the freedoms we enjoy today were hard fought for. Many times, Sen. Orengo will tell you because he is not even my elder brother but my dad. We sit down and he is a mentor. When we hear stories of what happened--- view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: There was a time when as the Chairman of the Then National Alliance (TNA) Party was in a televisions show with Prof. Anyang Nyong’o.

• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: where we are in cooperation agreement with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., let us never forget that we swore fidelity to this Constitution to protect it, the rights of our people and democracy.

The The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights went through it and brought a report here rejecting the appointment. However, the House rejected the rejection by not passing the report; in fact, not even seconding it. So, the Senate has already pronounced itself on this matter in support of the decision by the National Assembly on her nomination. Madam Deputy Speaker, unless this Commination is just to confirm the appointment, which we already have no problem with, then, Senators will be confused to assume that you want us to go through the process again.
