    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wanted to add an issue to the Statement sought by Sen. Crystal Asige. First, I thank her for bringing that Statement in pursuit of the rights of PWDs. The relevant Committee in considering this aspect of the Statement, they should also consider whether the nominations, which have been done in those counties comply with the law. This is because, the law says that the nomination should not exceed one- third of the elected Members of the County Assembly (MCAs). There are some County Assemblies that have more than a third of nominated Members serving in those Assemblies, which in essence it shows that if they were to vote in the Assembly, the elected MCAs of the Assembly will be defeated in an election. Therefore, I want the Committee to include whether the nominations comply with the one-third rule as to the number of the nominated MCAs I thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir."
