• 12 Feb 2025 in Senate: I would like to comment on the Statement request by the great Senator of Embu, Sen. Munyi Mundigi. The Senator is talking about the poisoning by asbestos in his county. There are several public schools and institutions which still have asbestos roofing, which is very poisonous. When the fine dust from it accumulates into the lungs, it becomes fatal.
