Olekina","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":407,"legal_name":"Ledama Olekina","slug":"ledama-olekina"},"content":"I beseech the Council of Governors (CoG), the Senate and people who are preparing for this inter-governmental conference to rethink and consider having this conference virtually. I know I have been invited there, but I will not risk my life to attend it physically. I am happy to go there and talk about environmental issues which are dear to me. However, I will be negating on my duty as a Senator where I need to raise issues affecting Kenyans."}
