• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very valid concern raised by the Senator of Lamu.

If all of us here are going to fall into this trap of being friends with the Executive, the President and so forth and sell the future of the people of the Coast by accepting the BBI Report as it is.

Loitiptip is because---Some of us came out of constituencies that were not losing money in division of revenue. Sen. Malalah, Sen. Sakaja and I defended counties and regions that were losing money.

Olekina to disclose whoever has called him a messenger because that statement was said in the context of the Maasai people? It could be easily interpreted by the people watching out there that the person who called Sen. Olekina a messenger, was by extension calling the Maasai community, messengers. Can he clarify? view
