    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are the people's representatives in this House. Nobody can speak for all the residents of the county of Bomet, Laikipia, Kakamega or Nyamira. Since these things have been brought to our attention, we must address them. I am sorry to digress a bit, but I support Sen. Korir on this Bill. I also want to say something. Maybe you can consider what is in Clause 9(2). I am not seeing clarity there. The clause says, that before the removal of a member under sub-clause 1 (f), the county governor shall request the committee to give a statement. Instead of saying that the committee will give a statement, I think what we should say is, before removing a member, there should be a fair hearing process of their removal, so that they are given notice of intention to remove them, they are given a fair hearing, and then a decision is made. Let us not have that statement that is fairly ambiguous, that says that the governor will just request for a statement. What kind of statement? They should actually ask for minutes confirming that due process has been invoked and that these people are given a fair hearing before they are removed from office. Other than that, I think this is a good Bill. It is very progressive, beneficial to our children, as long as we incorporate issues of making it more digital and not analog. We are proposing this Bill to be enacted into law to benefit our Gen Z who are more digital than analog. With those many remarks, I support."
