• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Those are some of the points that I wanted to add. I have seen Mr. Mwau’s name in the records of sporting in this country. That was in 1968. Mr. Mwau, I acknowledge that because you were among the first Africans to participate in a shooting event. These are some of the events where we are missing quite obvious gold medals.
