    "content": "This Bill gives the governor the responsibility to induct people into the county of hall of fame but on the advice of the selection committee. I wish to sound the warning that governors must not play politics with that list. If the selection Committee identifies and forwards the names of people that are critical or do not support the governor, it cannot be the province of the governors to decide not to put the names of those who do not support them. This is not about governors but the county. That needs to be taken into consideration as we debate and pass this Bill so that governors do not appropriate the final decision on who is or not on the list. There is also a provision in the Bill on legislation. Whereas the Bill says county government may enact county-specific legislation, I thought reference should have been made directly to the county assemblies, of course, because they are the ones enacting this legislation. One of the legislations that these county assemblies are supposed to be enacting is on the number of persons who may be inducted into the County Hall of Fame at a particular time. That is a bit tricky. How do you predetermine that, in this year we are only going to admit 10 people in the County Hall of Fame? What will you do if that year there are 100 people who have been recognized by the national Government for awards in difference fields of achievement?"
