The Ford Kenya boss celebrated the achievement of the two-third gender rule the senate through the election of Senator Agnes Kavindu to represent Machakos County.
Wetangula stated: “The election of Senator Agnes Kavindu has elevated the senate to achieve the two thirds gender parity rule required under our constitution.”
