"content": "As we move on, the Committee on Powers and Privileges has to be put in place. This is a wonderful idea. We have seen chaos in the proceedings of some county assemblies. In Makueni County, we recently saw people shooting at each other. We saw the same in the Kisumu County Assembly. I have seen such chaos in Trans Nzoia County. We have seen this in Nyeri County too. The lives of county assembly members should not be the same as the lives of the former councillors. Councillors were there for representation but Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) are required to legislate and do oversight. If at all they are given powers like those of the High Court, it is our assumption that they will not abuse them.
