We were only supposed to have a county oversight board. Kenyans are very keen. The Kenyans we have nowadays are not the Kenyans we had in 2007.

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think it was just last week when the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury, read the Budget. I want to tell hon.
