• 8 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on my first day in this House, I took an oath to protect this Constitution. I am sure the people of Meru will appreciate because they also know about oaths; the reason why I would insist on defending this document on every occasion.

• 8 Nov 2023 in Senate: is one telling thing that came from the submissions of counsel, my good friend, Dr. Muthomi Thiankolu that, in fact, the motivation of the MCAs does not matter. I want to try and persuade this House that motivation is everything. The reason why human beings do things is absolutely critical to the doing of those things. This is because motivation sets a goal for you and then you look for a means to get to that particular goal. We have seen the evidence that has been led here, demonstrate clearly that a decision was made that Hon. Kawira Mwangaza had ... view

• 7 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I direct my question to counsel for the County Assembly who unfortunately is my former classmate.

What is the propriety of you basing a claim of breach of the law and misconduct on a matter that is still live before a court of law that was coming for a decision today? view

• 7 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my first question goes to the Counsel for the Governor. Provide a time-lapse between the infamous prostitute video and the response of the Governor. The second question is to the witness. What Government resources were used at the Okolea meetings?
