(Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":"I know Hon. Chachu Ganya in terms of geography has half of Kenya at his disposal. I do not have half of Kenya, but in my own constituency, I represent seven habitable islands. So, whereas he has a challenge on land, I have a challenge in water. Not only do I have the islands, but also valleys like Lambwe. So, the topography in my constituency is very complex. I remember in the last Parliament, I invited the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I wanted them to go to the furthest island, Remba Island, which is very close to Uganda and Tanzania. They were in the boat for 20 minutes and they told me: “ Mheshimiwa, we get the general idea. They could not reach and so they came back."}
