• 8 Dec 2022 in Senate: We pride ourselves in being the largest economy in East and Central Africa. We have a good country. It is our prayer that we will keep it going. We only have a small amount compared to Colorado of about US$210 billion GDP. However, we hope that we can grow our economy better. I hope that Denver and Nairobi cities can become sister cities.
