• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I come from a school of thought that believes that facts are very stubborn. At no point did I say that the people who had encroached into Mau forest were not human. The only thing that I said--- view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, with all due respect to the nominated Senator from Bomet, I said that you cannot compare the situation in Mau forest with what happened in Embakasi and I laid proper background as to what happened there.
