• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not take a lot of time, but I think Khalwale cannot get away for referring to the Constitution. The Constitution also can be changed. It is not a Bible. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will refer to him as His Excellency, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale! view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It will be recalled that yesterday, I really came all out to defend Governors because I believe that sending Governors out of office left and right may not help devolution that we have been craving for. I agree with the “Senator for Kilgoris” about his concern on the behavior of Governors. Truly, some of the Governors are doing things that cannot be allowed--- view

The same thing is happening in Nigeria. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: I do not want to mention any county; I am talking generally. Any Governor should not be allowed to do this and they cannot get away with it.
