• 22 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also request that you take judicial notice of the sentiments expressed by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and look for a way of deferring this very important Bill. The women of Kenya are waiting for this House to salvage their interest.

Secondly, I have heard statements when I was partly around. I do not say things that I do not understand. I grew up in an environment where cannabis sativa was rampant in use during my childhood. As a juvenile, I indulged heavily in that but it did not distract me anywhere I went. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: I happened to have my studies in India which is one of the largest democracies in the world where by virtue of my background it was available for me but I chose not to use it. The question is abuse. If we have strict regulations, then we can use them as a deterrent. It is rampantly abused in the country because of the laws which criminalize it.

• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to Sen. Billow, this is a substance I used a long time ago and it has never informed my decision to become the President of the Republic of Kenya.
