  • 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to move the Bill. This is a very special Bill. As we know, one of the responsibilities bestowed on the Senate is to make sure that we have funds going to the counties.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important to have this calendar because when it comes ... view
