There are a lot of naked lines in many of the informal settlements such as Mukuru, Kibera, Mathare, Kosovo and other places. Those people deserve dignity and deserve to be connected. So, I thank Sen. Mwaura for that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have seen this Bill. Allow me ... view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: Yes. I was interested in that. I did not know that Mt. Kilimanjaro meant a hill that is difficult to climb in Kikamba.

• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope and pray - because I intend to vie for the seat of governor of Nairobi. God willing, if I become the governor of Nairobi, we will have an annual Nairobi Arts and Cultural Festival that is going to be a global event. view

The festival is important because for you to deal with a city, you must first start with the software of the city before the hardware.

We will bring them together and have that music festival in Nairobi. That is culture. We are going to have beautiful art. view
