Hon. Temporary Speaker, I know it is not within my purview, but having served as a Member of Parliament with you in the Senate, I want to suggest – from the experience of the Questions that were sent to us – that Members make good use of this rare opportunity of Cabinet Secretaries appearing before this House by formulating questions in future to cover policy issues, so that they can cut across other than dealing only with one bridge or one road somewhere. The Questions will be answered – like the case of pending bills – as a whole. If, ...

Speaker when they were not present. I was also given the honour of being in the Pan- African Parliament (PAP). Through that, I served this country and the Senate with a lot of diligence, commitment and passion.

That was a time when the mandate of this House was being challenged by the National Assembly. This House must be remembered that ...

goes, it has proven that I was right on the issue of NMS, considering the misdeeds that happened in Nairobi City County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in many instances, we made some decisions on which we disagreed with the Executive privately or publicly. I believe that the example that we set will assist the leadership of this House. This is with particular reference to my friend and Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot. As he leads this House, he will need to ensure that he does not lose sight of his responsibility to defend and protect the Constitution and the mandate ...

and women who came through this door and left a legacy. That is the message that I want to leave my colleagues. I am proud that inside this Chamber, there are colleagues we schooled together. Sen. Wakili Sigei is my legal partner and was a class behind me. The SG of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Sen. Sifuna, was a classmate of Sen. Wakili Sigei. Therefore, there are some people here whom we schooled together and they are friends of our generation. I have two former students in this House; Sen. Cherarkey and Sen. Chimera. I have also sat in ...
