• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was clear distinction between the two positions and I was very clear. I said the construction of the High Court in Garissa will be done within six months. Within the period of six months, I said we can consider upgrading this facility. That is another proposal in addition to what my senior learned friend also proposed. view
