• 20 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is true the late Patrick Shaw was a very huge man, but he was very fast. When we were students at the University of Nairobi, we also dreaded him. It was not only criminals who dreaded him. Whenever we rioted along Uhuru Highway and saw Patrick Shaw just driving his car, we would all run back to the University. The most important point to note is that the late Patrick Shaw was not a policeman in uniform. He was a police reservist. That is why we are saying even the City itself will require KPRs ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) recognizes only 54 fully fledged tea factories and for which information they have given regarding emoluments of directors.

The regulations regarding the elections will be applied ... view
