I hope it will be put in simple PDF format so that it can be shared widely for Kenyans to read and for it to go as a document of a shameful scandal in our history.

They feel left out and cheated by an insensitive and out of touch leadership class. When a project like this is conceived with very sweet and sleek The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
