• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order and everybody has had his chance uninterrupted. Mr. Speaker, Sir, at that point in time, you were persuaded that we cannot proceed with the Makueni issue. We even went ahead and decided that we want to look for a better way of working with the Judiciary, which we did.

For avoidance of doubt, I am not persuaded, as the Senator of Elgeyo-Marakwet County, that I can sit in the Senate of the Republic of Kenya and make decisions that the Judiciary does not take seriously.
