• 25 May 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not agree with the recommendations of this Committee. I think they went beyond their mandate. After listening to what was being said, I believe there is no justification for giving all these recommendations. Political parties have been given the powers by the East African Court of Justice Rules, which they have abided by to the letter.

• 6 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Dullo sought a Statement on the reported change of Lamu Port-South Sudan- Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor route and relocation of the proposed Isiolo Resort City.

Therefore, it is not true to say we are done with the route. The final decision will be made once the report is made public. With regard to the issue of original design sought by Sen. (Dr.) Machage, as I said the ... view
