• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, slightly over a month ago, I sought a statement on the doping menace. Last week, the statement was ready and available. I request that either the Chairperson or Vice Chairperson gives that statement because it is a matter of national importance. I am talking about Statement “b.” view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement I sought places the country on the brink of huge consequences. However, considering the situation in the House, I request that it be slotted tomorrow, so that we can deal with it. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us do it tomorrow. view

• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the chairperson is telling this House that because his county is involved and he has not gotten the information, he cannot execute his mandate as the Chairperson of that committee.

Thirdly, I owe my allegiance to the so-called parties. I will consult widely with Kenyans, ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We do not need to mislead this nation. I am the substantive Chairperson of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC). Letters were done immediately without consulting my party, FORD-Kenya. For people to purport that I am de-whipped, without whipping, is misleading the nation.

Whips should take their positions when they de-whip; you do not de-whip without whipping. Nobody was whipped in our coalition. I had eligible votes ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you may allow me a minute so that I can consult the secretariat to get the relevant documents to table. view
