    "content": "Following up with the relevant offices, I found out that my passport had not been submitted and no application had been made. Because of that, I was unable to travel to go and carry out my legislative and advocacy agenda. Madam Temporary Speaker, that made me to start reflecting on many incidences that have been happening to me in Parliament. As new legislators, sometimes we do not understand how things work. I have been letting go many challenges, acknowledging the fact that I am a new legislator and perhaps sometimes I do not understand how things work. After that particular event, I had a self-reflecting moment and took an account of all the incidences where I have faced serious challenges in terms of my work as a legislator and representative of the people. Madam Temporary Speaker, as you are aware, I have five Bills, one of them being the Konza Technopolis Bill. I experienced serious challenges with relevant departments processing the Bill so that it comes to fruition. I started reflecting on what it meant. Is it an issue of me not understanding how things work or are there clear deliberations of subverting my legislative agenda and other things? This is in the public domain. Recently there were issues to do with my office. I had been allocated an office without my consent and the same premises was being run. I followed proper channels to report the incident. I followed all the advice I had been given but it took serious interventions for something to be done. They said that someone was running an office and impersonating me, claiming that is my office."
