    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this important Statement but I do not know where he is. In the previous term, we had similar instances in some counties and the Committee on Finance and Budget and Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations managed to intervene in some cases and assist county governments to find solutions. The problem here is decisions made by courts under an application by a citizen and not any of the parties in the management of the county government. I understand the fact that the governor cannot convene a CECMs meeting. That is strange because everybody in the CEC is an appointee of the governor. In the past, before I brought an amendment in this House that was passed in the National Assembly and signed into law late last year, governors used to find it difficult to fire their CECMs. We made it clear in the law and now it is part of the County Governments Act, that a governor can hire and fire at will. Why can the governor not fire all his CECMs and hire new ones if they cannot meet? I would understand if it was a tussle between the county executive and the assembly."
