  • 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: we have. I feel there is a conflict of interest where, psychologically speaking, someone will have a leg in the Executive and another one in the Judiciary.

We are going through severe drought now. It is like the Meteorological Department did not know that there will be drought at this time. The Government acts when ... view
  • 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The African Development Bank says that the East African region remains to be the fastest growing region in the African continent. Those growths are attributed to our neighbouring countries because we are all in the East African Community in the sub-Saharan part of the continent.
