We will sustain operations to deal with not only robberies but also these criminal gangs who are hiding behind political action and support. view

• 2 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: I think the Member is seeking further consultations because I have answered it thrice. To be very specific, this is a question of overlapping administrative units. The Question is whether it is in Mukaa or Nzawi sub-counties. So, it is very specific and requires specific consultations. We can take it up with the Member of Parliament out of this House. This is the third or fourth time he is asking the same Question. view
