    "content": "we do and yet they are your colleagues? It will not be possible for the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), and I must make this clear, to keep financing trips of Committee Members to go and find out whether a boundary or beacon has been removed. Surely, that is not the work of Parliamentarians. That should be done by the Executive. Or we go and find out whether a roof of a school has been blown off. Again, that is not the work of Parliament. It is for that reason that hon. Nyamai I allowed you time to ventilate in order to bring out the weaknesses in this process. Even if I allow the Leader of Majority Party to express his dissatisfaction that terrorists or some such like group or criminals are using Kitui or other location, what can hon. Amina Abdalla say? She will just tell you that, that is the best that they have. Indeed, now that you have brought the issue of security, I agree that, that again is under the domain of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. All of us should start to think how best we will articulate issues concerning our constituencies because you must articulate issues concerning your constituency. That is what you were elected to do. At the same time, given the architecture of our governance today, how do we best perform that function which is part of your representation role? How we do this must be the concern of every one of us especially those of you who were elected from constituencies. Of course, I am lucky in that my constituency is right here. So, I do not have a lot of difficulties because you can always see me. But I know people who have elected you want you to come and articulate issues of concern to them. But how do we best do this, given the presidential system of Government that we have adopted? Next Order, Leader of Majority Party."
