• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I strongly object to some of these insinuations that somehow ODM is the one running this Panel. If you read the newspapers today, you would think that there is a war between me and Sen. Wambua. It will not happen. Sen. Wambua and I will never fight. The truth of the matter is that we also do not want these incessant accusations against ODM. If you hear the names of the constituencies by-elections that are being mentioned, the majority of them are held by ODM. The ODM is holding Ugunja, Magarini and we have a nominee to ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, do not allow Commissioner, Sen. Korir, to mislead this House. If the law says that Parliament may extend time, then they should have written to Parliament. Hon. Wetangula is not Parliament. I certainly do not recognise him as Parliament.

In my view, if the answer is ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: One minute, Madam Temporary Speaker. The shouting is interfering with the network on my phone. I have shared the letter on the official Senate Business Group. If you do not have network, it is because Sen. Kinyua is shouting. The reference of that letter is SP/IEBC/CORR/2025/36 from the Selection Panel for the Recruitment of Nominees for Appointment as Chairperson and Member of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). It is dated 20th March, 2025. It is addressed to the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) MM Wetangula, EGH, MP, Speaker of the National Assembly and Chairperson of the Parliamentary Service Commission. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: I feel like there is more education to pass. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Under Standing Order No.101(4), it appears as if the Senate Majority Leader is imputing a very improper motive on our part to raise those objections, yet the Mover of the Motion who was standing in for him has already apologised to us for not supplying that information that you are now referring to the House before the Motion. view
