It could also be due to improved diagnosis due to the availability of machines that we have now in the country; level of knowledge, existence of some oncologists in ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed,we appreciate your wisdom in ruling over a very sticky and touchy issue like this one, which would have pushed some high ranking individuals in this country into disrepute. However, would I be in order to request that you give us the true meaning of the word “hustler”? view

• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a House of records. The point of order as raised by Sen. Wangari may be taken as the gospel truth. However, look at Standing Order No.45 (2) (d). It actually gives that power to the Senate Majority Leader to act on behalf of committees. I would like to draw your attention to that, so that this is properly recorded. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a rider, I would like the Cabinet Secretary to state how many IDPs from Migori he has hitherto paid, why he has not paid others and whether he intends to also include them in this list of IDPs. view
• 9 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank God for the New Year and for everybody especially you. Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki is a seasoned politician and he has a good reason to make that kind of observation.
