I was asking myself that suppose this Bill is defeated, then what next? It is really a challenge view

• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I hope the constituents of Kikuyu are watching their Member of the National Assembly do something that is very positive in their lives.

I do not know why it is brought here. view
