"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whatever my fingers were doing came from the heart. It is normal for that to happen when you want to express a point. You also know that I am a teacher. I was saying that in some airports, for example, Amsterdam, many planes land per day. Suppose all airlines were allowed to erect billboards, it will be impossible to get space. Therefore, it is good to manage advertisement by putting in place a system that can control and manage the information that is shared. Kenya is a religious nation of Christians and Muslims. New churches are started every time. If you drive to Nakuru, on the way to Eldoret, you will see an advert around a corner which says: “Good news, good news” or “breaking news.” This can make you stop and easily cause an accident. However, when you read the advert carefully, you will find that the “breaking news” is very interesting. It could be about a witchdoctor who has arrived from Tanzania. Those are the types of things that are advertised and they capture attention because of the way they are displayed. If the committee proposed in the Bill existed in the counties, they would identify such adverts that could cause accidents. If you drive in the countryside, you will see that Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) billboards have been put up everywhere, especially now that the next election is approaching. Even a bus that was bought using public funds is written “CDF- funded.” Some adverts even have the photographs and names of the sitting Members of Parliament and what they have done. This is how wild and weird we have become---"
