• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the late Hon. Seroney was famous for saying that “you do not need to substantiate the obvious.” The obvious thing under this Constitution under Article 1 in terms of representation and the spirit under Articles 91 and 92 and the chapter on Elections, is that the persons that put us in political parties are the voters.

• 2 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know if you will allow me, but there is an outbreak of Yellow Fever in Mandera and other places. Unfortunately, there has been a shortage of the vaccine worldwide. I do not know whether I am in order to request the Ministry to also confirm that they have adequate doses for the Yellow Fever vaccine. view
• 2 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I raised a point of order about the several Bills that are from the National Assembly and I am seeking more of direction to this extent. I can see in our Order Paper that we have prioritised matters that come from the National Assembly. I have heard the Senate Majority Leader mention that some of these Bills actually have constitutional deadlines.
