Some of the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) who came -and wherever we go we sit with MCAs - told us that fish is no longer brought to Mombasa.

You can only imagine what that is. view

• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have sat with the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Devolution and Planning and the National Treasury.
