• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. M. Kajwang‟ to insinuate that Sen. Victor Prengei has not talked in this House for the last two-and-a-half years while in reality, as late as yesterday, he even spoke on the same platform? view

• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Senate Committee on Justice, Human Rights and Legal Affairs for thinking through this very important statement.

Those concerns are not trivial. When we talk about treating the Chief Justice during public holidays in terms of where he sits is not trivial.

• 7 Nov 2019 in Senate: and juniors. It may appear as though it is the President to blame, but we are talking about Cabinet Secretaries not releasing money to the Judiciary. That blame should not be on the President because he has immunity. Deal with the junior officers who are frustrating you because their responsibility is to represent the President correctly in their jobs and to advise him on what needs to be done.
