“He is very quiet in Parliament. It’s as if he went there for a visit. Tell him to pack up and leave, Iki-iki must get a competent representative. Our Poeple’s voice must be heard in Parliament. Kagenyi is a dangerous substitute. I have come for serious business not for jokes.” Kagenyi who also owns a media company told this News Website in a private interview.
