(2) A by-election in the Office of the Deputy President after assumption to the Office of President by an elected Deputy President. (3) A by-election in the office of the deputy governor after assumption to the office of the county governor by an elected deputy governor. (4) A mechanism by which the President has the power to appoint a Cabinet Secretary in an acting capacity to the office of Deputy President in the event of a vacancy for a period of six months until a substantive Deputy President is elected. (5) A mechanism by which the county governor has the power to appoint the county secretary in an acting capacity to the office of deputy governor in the event of a vacancy for a period of six months until a substantive deputy governor is elected. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.231, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the petition for not more than 30 minutes. Hon. Senators, I did not read the title of the petition. This petition is to the Senate by Mr. Taratiso Ireri Kawe concerning amendments to the Constitution of Kenya and other relevant laws on the election of Deputy President and deputy governor."
