That should not be the case. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: We are not that petty. The Somalis have been there since the Independence of this country. Actually, the Somalis took part in Mau Mau. They were even sending their animals to feed the Mau Mau fighters. If you want, I will give you all the cuttings.
