[kictanet] Thika Road Debate in Parliament

[Dorcas Muthoni]

I think the government is working hard to see many things and projects come
to fruition, lets support them. We have supported Dr. Ndemo through
positive engagement and we need to support other sectors. Together, we
shall build the great Kenya we all want.

Thanks Mbugua, this if definitely good commitment.
