I now call upon the Mover to reply.

Sen. (Dr.) MwauraCoalition or the current “handshake” Government – have not been bold enough to just have discipline on how much we spend. We have to live within our means. We have to cut our cloth according to size.Indeed, Madam Temporary Speaker, the population has increased. We are now 50...

Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statement by my good sister Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. You know the name Musuruve comes from the name Miss Reeves. It is a very interesting mispronunciation, but it was good because it ended up producing a Senator in...
