• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the specific way forward for those who had already graduated is a process which will require engaging to find out exactly where the gap was. The gap is not uniform across the board. What the Engineering Board said is that they are going to do investigations.

Therefore, investigations are going on to find out where the gap is and then, specific courses will be offered. They have given us a duration of about six ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me start by congratulating Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for the passion that he has for security both within his county and in the country as a whole.
