The “ Kanjo” means those council askaris because they are not askaris per se . So, I cannot call them askaris because they are not legally askaris. So I do not know which word to use.

  • 21 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also thank the people of Vihiga County for bringing up this issue. This is an issue that I have spoken about previously. The youths in my county have problems getting identity cards. It is not only the youths who are affected, but the old men with the old generation identity cards as well; they are not being facilitated to convert the old generation identity cards to the new generation.

  • 13 Oct 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ride on that and seek clarification on whether the Government is aware that there are many hospitals which turn away patients on the basis of ailments that they have.
