“In all honesty, ko ye mi. Tori there’s something called Citizenship by birth and by marriage which you clearly qualify for but the last time i asked a friend studying Law, they said you can’t. But i guess that’s why all the gender bills are been fought for to be passed so that we can run for electoral positions in places we marry from.”
