While so many politicians are winning the mastermind of words and lies award, there are those truly satisfying the public with their fights for the ordinary men.This has seen senator Kilonzo share his proud moment of receiving a recognition award from the public.
Mr Sakaja and Mr Kilonzo Jnr jointly bagged the Wanjiku’s Best Representative 2018 Award in the security and disaster management category.
This is after the duo sponsored the Risk Management Bill, 2018, which provides for the creation of an agency that will coordinate disaster response measures between the national and county governments.
