Kenya that was reflected in his father. His father had the face of Kenya. He was impartial and was warm to everyone despite the political divide. Sen. Abdulkadir can fit into his father’s footsteps. When I look at him, I see a legislator who will stay in this House for many years, because the people of Garissa have spoken in one voice.
