President Obama having been a Senator, it would have been a matter of great honour if he would have addressed Senators and Members of the National Assembly. In the public grapevine, the story is that the institution of Parliament has become so dishonourable that the President of the USA would not want to associate himself with Parliament. I hope that is not true, but that is what is circulating on social media and the debates on social platforms. There is enough evidence, as Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki, the Senate ...

(2) Could the Chairperson provide a per county ...
