• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. I agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that there are many of us who had reservations about this Constitution.

It is optional; we must not all go, but the country must continue working. view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion on the grounds that it is on the lips and the minds of every Kenyan today as to what is happening to the security of this country. There are criminal elements causing havoc all over the country. We, as leaders, cannot just stand and be spectators and merely apportion blame.

• 7 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that we find ourselves in this quagmire, is it really in order for us to expect the Chair to play the role of Chief Whips, who should make sure that an important Motion like this one is attended to by hon.
