Hon Kigano Has A Right To Decide His Destiny

As I was listening to Bob Marley's Revolutionary song Liberate Zimbabwe I grasped few lines that "Every man has a right to decide his own destiny" and it went ahead "Brother you're right, you're right You're right, you're right, you're so right."  Kangema MP Hon Kigano Likewise, Kangema MP Hon Muturi Kigano is deciding his politics and development destiny and recent action to send his staff on a compulsory leave is democratically, constitutionally and politically right.

In Kenya it is found in Central and Western Kenya. Among Kikuyu Community, the tree is neither planted nor cut by any human as traditionalists believe it is
