Sen. Murgor. At Independence, our leaders like Hon. Kwame Nkrumah, Hon. Sekou Toure, Hon. Julius Nyerere, Haile Selassie, Jomo Kenyatta and all other leaders who were there then appreciated the importance of African unity. They thought that it was important for Africa to become one for Africa to be a...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I am the Senator for Siaya. I will not speak much on this issue. I have 100 percent confidence in the team which has been selected to look into this matter. I have seen senior people of very fair minds and who...

I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. You moved a bit fast on 5E. I have heard you move to 5F. I wanted some clarity on the issue of conviction, where someone is convicted on a criminal offence and sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than six...
