• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, far be it from me to believe and even have the conviction that the invaders are coming from Nandi County. I would be really happy if the origin of the invaders could be exposed so that my speculation is rendered negative. But at the moment, what happened last time is that ward representatives from Nandi County crossed the border to a place called Kopere and held a meeting there in defence of the invaders. There is already ocular proof as to the origin of these invaders which my friend, Sen. Sang and I would definitely like to ... view

• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Senate established this ad hoc Committee we embarked on our responsibilities. I must thank all the members of the Committee who have worked very hard to ensure that this Committee fulfills its mandate. As a Committee, we have held several meetings with the two consultants that we had contracted. One consultant specialized in philanthropic giving and the other one on issues of taxation, particularly tax relief. Both were supported by the SUNY programme; a programme that has been working with Parliament for quite some time. We agreed on the terms of reference of these ... view
