• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I am personally glad that you are back in that Chair as the substantive Speaker of this House. I am happy with the last thing that you have said about the powers of the Deputy Speaker and Members of the Speaker’s Panel. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the person who made it an issue, was the person who was then sitting on that Chair. In fact, we made the argument that there cannot be business brought in the House and then we are told to wait for the substantive Speaker. The problem we find ourselves in is that ... view

• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: wanted to present me with this Petition, so that I can come and canvass this matter here because that is why they elected me. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are stuck in this circular motion. If I remember correctly, we thought there was some middle ground, the last time.

Our expectation was that terms of a truce must be observed. I was not in that meeting. The meeting was expressed to have happened in your ... view

• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Probably for the benefit of the students in the gallery, the Nairobi delegation is quite healthy. We have one elected Senator in Nairobi but we have at least five nominated Senators who come from the Nairobi County and therefore, they form part of the delegation. Sen. Tabitha Mutinda who spoke before me is one of the Members of the delegation in Nairobi. If she has taken the opportunity to welcome you, please, consider that to be the same position that I would take in welcoming you to this House. I hope that you can ... view
