• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I was just going to say exactly what my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said and tell my colleague, Sen. G.G. Kariuki that his intentions are correct and noble. However, I think exactitude is the essence of law and I think what my other colleagues said is in line with what the Constitution and the County Governments Act says. It is important to be exact in the language that is used so that nobody doubts whatsoever what they are going to do, or when this particular amendment takes effect. view

• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, my point is very simple, but I think very important. Mr. Chairman, Sir, first, I am frightened by what Sen. Omar is saying. He seems to be holding the view that so long as Mombasa County has a very large recurrent expenditure, there should be no ceiling whatsoever on what that county should spend on Recurrent Expenditure.
