The first one is truth and I had just quoted the scriptures in the Bible; John 8:32. It says that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. So, the President has initiated a process where as a nation, we can sit down and start establishing what actually happened in a credible way and in a way that inspires confidence within the society. I am saying this because we had failed experiments with ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Yes because I have seen some light. I wanted you to clarify. It is okay, I will manage. I just wanted clarification. You know, normally, I do not prolong things. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once we establish the truth, we need to do justice. Justice does not mean locking up people.

For example, you can bar people from participating in future elections or order them to pay compensation and reparation to their victims. These are ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to note and thank the President for his Speech. I remember so well that when the President gave his Speech, the House was so silent until at some point, he mentioned something about an apology to the nation for the things that happened during the time of the first, second, and third President and I suppose also those that could have happened even at this time.

Considering that this is a very disparaging term in the modern world, are there niggers in this House? view

• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Do you mean Kshs1.2 billion? It is not possible to rise from Kshs21 million to Kshs1.2 million. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order! Order, Sen. Khalwale! You are purporting to table a report of appointments by the President and the Deputy President. But in purporting to do so, you say that the Speaker of this House was appointed by the President and the Deputy President. That is completely misleading. You know very well that the President cannot appoint the Speaker of the Senate. view
