• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to join you in welcoming the delegation from Kisii County to what I would rather call their home. They are my neighbours and we have interacted with most of them. I congratulate them for coming here to benchmark. I encourage them to support the Senate on matters oversight in our counties.

I encourage them to continue supporting the Senate. This is because ... view
