Tabitha Mutinda","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and my senior colleagues for managing the time. I appreciate. I start by supporting this Amendment Bill, especially Clause 19 that talks about the nomination slots for the MCAs. In the Senate where I am specially elected, it recognises the specially-elect through their delegations. That is determined by where you voted last. That applies very well in the Senate. That is important because it ensures you are familiar with your area. For my case, my representation is Nairobi County. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."},{"id":1494764,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1494764/?format=json","text_counter":481,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen. Tabitha Mutinda","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"The Bill clearly supports that a person to be nominated as an MCA should be a registered voter in that ward. It is key and I support it. It also ensures that the MCA serving in that assembly maximally engages knowing the issues concerning the ward of representation are matters of concern that he or she familiarises with. We have cases in Nairobi County where the MCAs have been nominated from far parts of this country and are not really familiar with the concerns of Nairobi and are not able to understand. Most of us go to mashinani during weekend. At times, it becomes difficult for some Members to go because they do not resonate with those areas because they are now serving in a different area. They have little input in the areas they are serving because there is no synergy in any way. It is important an amendment. These people must come from the areas they have voted. We do a lot of campaigns before voting. It is in those campaigns that we make manifestos and give promises to the people. It becomes easier when an MCA represents and is nominated from the area she voted. He or she will be in a better place to ensure the promises and the manifestos they did during the campaign trail are delivered, unlike when that happens in a different area. The amendment on Clause 20 on appointment of the polling stations is very key. The voters need to familiarise with their voting polling stations at an early time. I find the three months' duration less; it should be more."},{"id":1494765,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1494765/?format=json","text_counter":482,"type":"heading","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"ADJOURNMENT"},{"id":1494766,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1494766/?format=json","text_counter":483,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
