(Prof.) Lonyangapuo can drag and get the Senator for Baringo County, Sen. Moi, together, they can create a very strong team to look at the issue and spend time with the people.

So, we have a role and ability, as leaders, to bring The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
