    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, we should not forget our brothers and sisters who are at the county governments. That is the Members of the County Assemblies. I had an opportunity to travel to Kericho and Kuria. If you look at the geographical area that the MCAs represent, you will be surprised. Some of them represent areas as big as some constituencies. Hon. Deputy Speaker, without vehicles and a home, they find it very difficult to work. For example, if you come to Nakuru County, the MCA from Mai Mahiu needs a place to transact business. Therefore, we seek the indulgence of Madam Serem to consider our brothers and sisters so that they can also be effective and give service to the people by availing some means of transport and a place where they can work from. It is very sad because you find an MCA sleeping in a lodging of Kshs150 because they do not have a home. Therefore, we are urging Madam Sarah Serem to consider that. Lastly, to our colleagues in the CORD Coalition, it was very sad that this afternoon they were against Clause 13 of the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill which gives birth to the position of Deputy Inspector-General. It is important for us to criticize positively. I think that is very irresponsible. We need to look at the Act and know what it stipulates. With those remarks, I support."
