• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a promoter of African culture and, indeed, it is not only in the culture of the Ameru that we have this kind of unique herb, but also amongst us; the people of Western province, who have a stimulant in the name of mukombero . If the Government does not come out, all our men will die because they rely on mukombero during difficult days. view
