• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support this Motion because it is so important. It is actually urgent but I support it with an amendment to delete from the Motion the words “further aware that the Government received Kshs522 billion grant from the French Government to establish cancer and renal centres with well equipped facilities.” view

We were vetting a career civil servant – somebody who joined the public service at the age of 24 years and has served for 33 years.
