• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to also support this particular Bill. Owing to the fact that we derive our mandate from Article 96 of the Constitution of Kenya, it is our cardinal responsibility to ensure that we protect the dignity and the powers bestowed to this House.
