• 14 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Wamatangi to run way from the obvious? It is common knowledge in this country, that if you are looking for money, you go to Kiambu or its environs which is Nairobi. Therefore, is it in order for Sen.

• 12 Apr 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I sympathise with the situation that faced the FORD-Kenya presidential candidate and the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) co-principal who is also the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Wetangula, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Njoroge who you can see could not run like Sen. Hassan whom we trained and was able to salvage himself. This is a very serious issue that is beyond just making a personal statement. This House must be given opportunity to ventilate on this issue. This is because we are now at a very critical time before ... view
