Kenyan Bulletin has gotten hold of the full list of the 85 government officials that traveled to the US for the legislative conference, whose agenda included sampling country music and getting inspirational talks from songstress Dolly Parton in a trip that costed Kenya taxpayers more than 300Millions.
Initial reports indicated that the total number of MPs, senators, ward representatives and Parliament’s staff was raised to 90 without adding some of those who traveled that did not register for the conference.
The names of the MPs, senators, ward representatives and parliamentary staff are out despite the lawmakers denying the report and going further to demand an apology from the source that first broke the story.
Below are the names of what was the largest delegation in the world to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) in Nashville, Tennessee. The list was provided by the organisers of the conference.
