The Report on Measures Taken and Progress Achieved in the Realization of National Values and Principles of Governance, has 307 pages.

I know there are people who may have wanted to hear him ... view

• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: are in county‟s payroll are those who give essential services. We should not have an exaggerated number of persons or reward individuals in terms of employment at the expense of development. One of the messages that we must pass to the citizens of this country is that they should not put pressure on county governments to employ people from different corners. If there is any pressure that citizens of Kenya must put in national Government and county governments is to create conducive environment for investors to come and invest in our counties so that they can hire the young people ... view
