    "content": "Two Articles had been drafted with the understanding that it is a mixed member, zebra situation. Article 27(3) and Article 81(b) had been drafted with that in mind. When the mixed member system of election was dropped, nobody bothered to harmonise Article 27(3) and Article 81(b) to reflect the new situation. At the county level, it was agreed that the 14 devolved functions were very close to the people and it was important to have the people represented in decision- making. At that point, there was no debate. Because of the sensitivity of the functions that had been devolved, people in the wards needed to be represented. This had much to do with what Jefferson called the “Ward Republic”, where people get involved in decision-making at the local authority level."
