• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the comment by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights through the Chairperson, Sen. Cherargei. However, we must speak more when Kenyans face the same challenges that Sen. Malalah faced. The amazing thing about this issue is that Sen. Malalah is innocent yet he spent three days in custody as the gold scammers were being interviewed on television. In fact, those scammers were almost cat walking for scamming gold. That is the contradiction in this country. The principle of the rule of law is that everybody is equal before the law. That ... view

Over the weekend, one of my friends wore a T-shirt that was written: ―The law is clear.‖ We say these words so many times. Somebody goes on television and says: ―The law is clear on this position and x.‖ Sen. Sakaja ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: When people like you who are known to be legal scholars and professors and teach law go to schools and teach people who watch us and think that we are role models for purposes of a legal career, what do they think of us when they see some of the things that we do?

• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country has so many laws. This morning, one of our colleagues brought a law on prompt payment of goods. We told them that the law is clear on this one. If you were to go to court and somebody owes you money and they have not paid, the law is clear. It is 14 per cent from date of filing. The law is also clear on contract law; if you sign into a contract to pay 20 per cent interest or commercial rate. The law is clear. You do not need to legislate. However, even ... view
