Jonah Mburu, Member for Lari, are not sentiments of the Committee. Maybe the Member was carried away and was admiring the lady. I want to tell him that the lady is married, she is Mrs. Kassait. Those are not sentiments of the Committee. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: There is also an issue of the retired Army generals who served our country very well.
