• 27 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. While I appreciate the concerns of my colleague, Sen. Mugo, is it in order for her to debate on issues that are outside the Motion? The Motion only talks about infrastructure and equipment.

• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It must be made clear and I think my colleague did not do that, there has been representation to the public, the Standing Orders do not have the amendment so it must go to the public that we are not dealing with 20 per cent royalties anymore.
