• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that they have been settled. I said that a statement was issued to that effect. So, it is not me to settle these IDPs. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your guidance to me and other Senators. As I said earlier, we will try to answer the Statement which was requested by Sen. (Eng.) Karue on Thursday and I take your advice. I want to assure the House that we, as a Committee, will endevour to go and find more information, after I have answered this one on Thursday because the issue of IDPs is so hot. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in Senate: I will be very fast, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Although the suggestion is good but look at the practicality of the matter.

I cannot say all the lawyers are crooks and neither can I say that there are lawyers who have been to--- I do not have to go into those issues, but I want us to defend those who cannot defend themselves in the House. He should either withdraw or produce evidence and I will go along with it. view

• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no interest to declare at all in this matter. What I am doing is what is expected of any leader; you defend those who cannot defend themselves here. Thank you. view

• 25 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion with a lot of reservation because this debate is being listened to by Kenyans and when the Leader of Opposition says that we have taken care of diversity--- view
