• 5 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If distinguished Senators can remember, Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o brought a Motion to this Chamber and we gave him the green light to draft a Bill to address the abuses and excesses that have come to characterise an otherwise very noble cause. I was privileged to be nominated by him to serve in the Committee that went round to collect and collate views of Kenyans on what they felt about harambees. I remember we had a public meeting in Kitengela County. The Members of County Assembly (MCAs) who came to meet us with the Speaker had ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just for the record; while we enjoyed the speech by the distinguished Senator for Tana River County, this is Statement Time.

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for allowing me an opportunity to contribute. I enjoin myself with the previous contributions from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Orengo, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’- Nyong’o and Sen. Musila. Just to wind up on the issue of qualifications, I thank the Chairman for participating in this process but my position remains that it was a flawed process. There should never have been a Joint Sitting between the two Houses. Each House should have vetted the Inspector- General nominee on its own. On the question of qualifications, I fully support what Sen. (Prof.) Anyang- Nyong’o has said but ... view
