• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: I was thinking that maybe in the spirit and the principle of “he for she”, Sen. Nyamunga would have allowed me to read the Statement. Now that she has read it, I congratulate her for reading it on our behalf. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: I have had opportunity to work with Sen. Halake as the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Information Communication Technology (ICT), where she has done a fantastic job. She will chair a forum that deals with political parties. I hear colleagues here putting emphasis on youth and women. There are also men in the political arena. view
