I know that I support women and the women's agenda, but having the League of Kenya Women Voters in the Kenya Roads Board does not really make sense.

Perhaps they may not be a body that is governmental or semi-governmental in nature, but they The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
