• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to eulogize the great lawyer that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo was. Unlike many of the speakers who spoke before me, I never had personal interaction with the late Mutula Kilonzo. However, I remember that when I was making a decision to become a lawyer, three people were inspirational to me. One of them was the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo. The other was James Orengo. Therefore, when I was elected to the Senate and I heard that they had been elected through their respective political parties to become Senators, I knew that was an opportunity for me ... view
• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to join my colleagues and the whole nation in condoling a hero. On behalf of my family, myself and the fraternity of people with disabilities, I wish to mention two issues that the late Senator was very passionate and supportive of.

People with disabilities remember ... view

• 24 Apr 2013 in Senate: Thank you for noticing me. I almost fell down after standing. Thank you for this opportunity. I am very grateful, first of all, to the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County who elected me overwhelmingly to become their Senator. If Elgeyo-Marakwet was another county, probably I would not have survived. However, those people, against all odds, money and big names, elected me to be their Senator. I was running against a self baptised total man, but people still voted for me. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the people of Murang’a for electing you. I also want to congratulate other ... view
