    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you. You know you are my neighbor and good friend. So, add me more minutes. Finally, let me just canvass so that I allow my colleagues to also contribute to the Bill, in the interest of time. When I was practicing law where I was, and even in this town, these people are mischievous; they take away your property and re-steal it after, of course, taking it forcefully. Then, when they come to court, they say that, that property was destroyed or it disappeared. They cannot account for it. We need an account. I agree when they say, preservation or destruction of seized property. There should be a procedure such that when you appear in a court of law, they should tell you where your property is. These people are taking it forcefully, they take away those tomatoes and prepare their supper and tell you that they disappeared. In fact, nowadays it is even safer to park your vehicle in a petrol station than in an enforcement place. I was shocked the other day, there was an accident and there was a rundown case we were doing and then when you go to a police station, the tyres of the car have disappeared. So, I agree with this Clause 9, because I know it will ensure that if your property is carried away and you are fined, you can get back your property. These are poor people. The County Compliance and Enforcement Bill is a good thing that will happen to county governments. It will assist to ensure that we own the way devolution works in this country. I hope it will put a stop to where the governors are misusing or abusing this to create militia, intimidate some of us, their opponents and trying to be mischievous. I hope with a single national legislation, it will ensure that we bring issues into focus. I want to thank Sen. Khaniri and call upon our colleagues that let us ensure that this Bill is canvassed immediately and we pass it and proceed to the next level, so that our people at the ground level, the mama mboga, the boda boda riders and any other small time business people at the county level across the 47 counties will have the joy of working in a good and safe environment. Thank you."
