• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to proceed. I want to urge my colleagues across the Floor, that if they feel that they can derail my arguments, they will fail. I said, and had no problem whatsoever in referring to Note No.2 on the issue of Kshs226 billion vis-à-vis the account of 2009/2010. We are not engaging in a narrow interpretation of issues.

• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was interrupted when I was saying that 43 per cent means in note two that Kshs226 billion is 43 per cent, as my good friend from West Pokot has said.

There is no single Senator who was given an invitation or an opportunity to even as little as present a wish list. So, you are presented with faitaccompli ... view
