• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: It is quite sad that we are sitting in this House on a Special Sitting, barely three months since the Hon. Governor took office. These are very emotive matters that require sober minds to sit down in a committee, go through all the evidence and ultimately bring back the matter to plenary.

• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: My job is not to impeach the governor. There is no Senator here who can impeach a governor. A governor can only be impeached by the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs). Our job is to just to go through--- Our job is similar to that of the jury. We will be sitting here and asking if they first followed the law.

There is no one who will be prejudiced by us going through the Committee. view

• 8 Dec 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to welcome the visiting delegation from Colorado. I am an alumnus of Fort Lewis in Durango. I walked from Colorado to Arizona way back in 1998. I know the four corners region very well. I am happy that they have had an opportunity to come here.
