Karen Magara","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Madam Temporary Speaker, being a special elect, I had an opportunity not only to go to one ward, but to just do a sampling kind of exercise during the public participation. Indeed, it was a demonstration that so many issues came up in that public participation. So, I did witness the public participation. The public participation had various forms of giving their views. One was by participation in a group. Others opted to take secret recording because they felt some of their issues were personal. Some wrote a memorandum to the Assembly through the Clerk. This was being done on the 26th, which was on a Monday."}
