• 15 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to move:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of standing order 249, the Senate resolves to vary the period within which the Procedure and Rules Committee should make its report on the periodic review of Standing Orders to the Senate, from six months to three months before the end of the term. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reasons are obvious, noting that this year, we are constitutionally mandated to have an election on 8th August, which is slightly less than six months as provided for by Standing Order No.249 which I will read.

Kwa masikitiko makubwa ningekuwa wakuandika tenzi ya wasifu wa maisha yake, kila mtu angeota machozi kwa sababu alikuwa rafiki wa kila mtu na mcheshi. Sidhani kwamba kuna yeyote hapa ambaye hangependa kuhudhuria mazishi ya marehemu kwa sababu kila Seneta alikuwa rafiiki yake. Alikuwa akiketi hapa karibu nami na siku zote tulikuwa tukitaniana.
