"content": "oversight capacity or capabilities by anyone. Now what role is it that they expect of us or what do the public expect of us? They expect us to conduct ourselves using the oversight role that they have given us, but that capacity has been taken away by the National Assembly because of their own perceived interest. I want to give an example that Members have given here because I do not want to be belabour it. When the President went to launch the SGR, he took 14 helicopters on that trip. How are we meant to oversight for example in my county of 11,000 square kilometres? There are others here who have a county of 20,000 or 30,000 square kilometres, how are they meant to oversight that? All this capacity building and public participation has been rendered useless by the actions of what the National Assembly. Ours is not to lament, I think the time for lamentation is over, it is time for action. As Sen. Lesuuda said, the National Assembly said “ Uta-do ?” You will go there, call for a special meeting, talk and “ utaenda, uta-do ?” I am happy for what has happened here because now we shall show them that tutawado ."
