• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it order for the Senate Majority Leader to caution the Speaker all the time? Yes, I would like to request you to rule on the Point of Order, but cautioning the Speaker is not right. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: I agree, my time is almost over, but the Members are busy consulting. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is even over. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I arise to make my contribution to this Policy Paper on the Slum Upgrading and Prevention Policy.

• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. On behalf of the people of Narok, the Maasai and the Ilchamus of Baringo, I want to welcome you to the Senate.

I will address them through you. view

• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Statement had been requested earlier on, but because the Session ended, you directed that it be forwarded to the Standing Committee. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 46(2)(b), to seek a statement once again from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relation regarding the use of excessive force and police brutality during the peaceful demonstrations and picketing in the country; and in particular, during the raid at the University of Nairobi on Thursday, 28th September, 2017.
