    "content": "I have heard him allude to Article 255 of the Constitution on the issue of amendments to this Constitution. Under the Constitution, there is either parliamentary or popular initiative. Article 255(1)(f) talks about the term of the Office of the President as one of the two Article 257 on popular initiative. So, the question should be, what should happen? Should we do a referendum with an election? I pray to God that Sen. M. Kajwang’ can be around and be in Opposition to ensure they bring the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) version II in 2023. With that, we can see if he can amend this part through a popular initiative or a referendum and now review these issues that have been brought forward. I agree with my colleagues that even looking deputy governors, most of them do not have offices and their vehicles have been withdrawn. I agree that we must be innovative. You remember when we passed the law in assumption of office where we had given power to the governor to nominate his or her deputy Governor with approval of county assemblies. It is good the Nandi County MCAs are here. We do not want to be prescriptive. We do not want to say deputy governors should do this and that. I know of a governor and his deputy who do not see eye to eye. It is because of their political differences and the ambitions of the deputy governors that we have in the country. This is very interesting. I hope the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights which it will be referred to, together with our Senate Deputy Majority Leader, Sen. Dullo, will be able to tell us how to proceed. We are looking at the legal conundrum that is here. Going into the future, we need to agree that this Petition is very critical. The Senate must pronounce itself and show direction. Otherwise, I congratulate the petitioner. For my colleague who did not understand my submission, look for me in camera so that we have a cup of tea and then I can explain in detail."
