• 15 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will wonder why terrorists should bomb Kenya. There is no reason for terrorists to bomb Kenya because Kenya does not involve itself in very high international politics where terrorists find a reason to commit the injustices happening elsewhere in the world.
