• 20 Jun 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as I wind up, when we speak about the establishment of this service, there is one key component that came up with the 2010 Constitution – devolution. If we shall not devolve these extension officers to the lowest available unit of service such as a ward, location or a village, we shall have missed on the thought and idea here.

We occasionally wear these traditional hats, which out of your kind consideration, have allowed some of us, for example, the Deputy Speaker, myself and many ... view
