(Prof.) Lonyangapuo would tell you, good things come from thesis. I thank my brother, Sen. Kajwang, that he only deducted 20 per cent from the total marks that I am likely to earn.

• 10 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, coming straight to the points which have been raised, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is right to feel that a lot has not been done. Actually, the purpose of this House is to address and even oversight issues which have not been addressed by the Executive. That is exactly what we are doing.
