    "content": "If we look at the GPS locations of residences, our residences keep changing. I could be in Rangwe and I have another residence in Homa Bay and another one in Nairobi or Mombasa, which one will be used for identifying me. So, as much as I support this amendment, I think it requires attention. I also want to look at the amendment on the Traffic Act, Chapter 403. If we look at Section 8 Part II, it says: “….any person who issues motor vehicle insurance cover to a person other the registered owner…” This is a very nice piece of amendment and it will improve security. If traffic officers get the car that is used for insurance, they would definitely know the owner of that particular vehicle. This particular amendment is very interesting because it is a wakeup call for the sponsors and the recipients of the sponsors. There are people who are sponsored using vehicles. Now, when it comes to insurance of those particular vehicles, we will identify the real owners of the vehicles. Therefore, it is very important that the sponsors and the recipients of the sponsorship re-organise themselves because this one will bring very interesting dynamics in ownership of motor vehicles. I also want make a contribution on the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) 1995 at number three. I want to particularly look at the section that clarifies roles very well and separates the role of the CEO of the Loans Board and the company secretary. This is an interesting thing because it clearly shows that the work of the company secretary is to take minutes. When it comes to execution of the decisions that are made by the board, this is done by the CEO. When we have well coded roles that are done by the members of the Board, this reduces conflict and improves performance. The HELB has had issues several times whenever there is conflict between the company secretary and the CEO. So, this is a good amendment. With those few remarks, I support the amendments to the three pieces of legislation. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
