• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek certain clarifications. Switzerland is a country of six million people and yet it exports shoes across the world. The market for shoes in Switzerland is not just the Swiss but also worldwide. Therefore, the Chinese people are exporting their shoes here. That is why our industry is dying.

• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to just tell the House that, if I heard Sen. Murungi correctly, did he not say that he wanted to understand why the people in Meru have been arrested or did he say he wanted to know why the Boranas have not been arrested? He should make it clear. I am not sure if I got it correctly. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Did I hear correctly Sen. Wetangula say that people on this side of the House are voting machines? Could he point or name a voting machine on this side and continue to describe that voting machine? Some people may mistake me for a voting machine. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Whereas I appreciate the exemption from being a “voting machine,” since I am looking at one as I stand here - and Sen. Wetangula has one that is even more crucial than mine - is he in order to imply that this side of the House has any voting machines except for the instruments that we use to vote? view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for the Senator for Bungoma, having been my classmate and rika mate. But he is literally exhibiting certain characteristics that I did not know of him; for example, the address of people from certain communities that have got certain characteristics. He is a national leader who should be looking at the whole country holistically. Which are those communities that he is talking about that get jobs straight from universities? view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to my colleague, to say that the Jubilee Government is the one that has created corruption, is pushing it too The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he cannot say that the Jubilee Government is creating corruption while we know that it was created a long time ago by some people who are now in CORD. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are correct and I am passionate about that. I was the first person to admit that there is corruption in this country. However, what I refuse to accept is that it has been started by the Jubilee Government. I know that corruption has been practiced by persons serving in both Jubilee and CORD. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for purposes of clarity, let me repeat what I said. I said that in response to the accusation that the Jubilee Government is the one that is creating corruption, it is not true. I admitted that there is corruption in this country, but it is not confined to Jubilee alone. It is in both Jubilee and CORD. Let nobody say that there is a side in this House that can throw a stone. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it would be the height of hypocrisy if we were to say as the Hon. Senator from Bungoma has said, that there is corruption in Jubilee that has started with us without naming anybody because a party itself cannot be corrupt. It would be wrong for me to mention names and I know some Members will agree with me. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that would be the height of hypocrisy if anybody were to stand up to say that the members in CORD are as clean as Caesar’s wife. That would be absolute hypocrisy.
