• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. For your information, when I talked about “a Member of the Lower House,” it was not a Member of this House who had actually said what I referred to. As a country, we must learn the spirit of servant hood. In future, I hope that our brothers – who decided not to coming when the President was addressing the Parliament – will also learn from the conduct of the President and realize that if you are servants of the people you have a responsibility. Even if you oppose a particular thing, this is the ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Yeah; that is why I am saying that it is a contradiction--- view
• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think the point is valid because of where the camera has been put. Sometimes if you sit at the corner, you will basically block the camera and you will see some kind of blurred picture.

• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, remember that missing this House eight times can lead you to go home; it is just a question of a reminder. The reason for missing a session of the House without permission of the Speaker by announcing it in a funeral or a market somewhere in Kawangware is not the right way to communicate to Kenyans that you were elected to represent. Why are we so loud in funerals and silent in the forum that we were elected to be in? view

• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: In future, these people must be men and women enough to face the competitors they have and address issues that their people sent them to come and face. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, finally, what the President did by going to The Hague is a demonstration of his belief in the rule of law. Any person who has an issue about anybody or about himself must be willing to abide by the law. We have had issues with judges who are giving unconstitutional and “idiotic” court orders. We have had issues with judges who do not want other institutions to work, ... view

• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Absolutely, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The reason why they were elected by Kenyans is not to listen to it in the media. Otherwise they would have allowed their voters--- What would the voters do? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was just quoting the President of the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice who told us that we must obey all court orders, however idiotic they may be.
