Confirmed. I am very ready on behalf of my Party to face off with Kalonzo Musyoka or any of the NASA principals on behalf of the Deputy President who is engaged in the campaigns at the Coast.
I feel energised to play my civic responsibility to expose their (NASA’s) lack of substance and vision for this country as we expound on the Transformative Agenda 2017-2022.

I am surprised no one has engaged me on the debate. Courtesy demands that date, time, rules of engagement would have been made available.
