• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, while I support most of the amendments, I want to agree with my colleagues on this side that when it comes to the IEBC, the Senate must have a role.

• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you and your deputy in welcoming the Deputy Governor for Murang’a County and also commend him for taking interest in the proceedings of the House.

So I commend him for that. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think this is a very straightforward request. We will endeavour to get it in a week’s time. view

• 23 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was Kshs1 billion which was allocated to this House. That money has been squandered by Members of the National Assembly. These people are thieves. view
• 23 Nov 2016 in Senate: Members of the National Assembly are very irresponsible. They are criminals. If Kenyans are mindful of their welfare, they should take these people to court. Where is the civil society? I plead with the reporters in the Public Gallery to report what I am saying. view
