• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: on violation of human rights. When I speak about violation of human rights--- The Chairlady of the Committee is aware of the story that we are trying to follow up in Kasigau where a lady who was in a mining area was violating the rights of women. I think that should also be a ground for revocation of a licence. This is because we have these people who come to mine in our areas.

Chairlady, it is good for the county governments to be advised on the kind of fertilizers that are being bought in order to go with the kind of soil in each county. That is because, once in a while, we buy fertilizers in general, like in the case of Embu County. view
