    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this matter. This is a timely amendment Bill, as it supports the independence of our county assemblies and county governments, allowing them to operate efficiently. The biggest challenge currently facing Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) is having to work with the county executives while performing their oversight roles. The Bill will enable MCAs to perform their duties with minimal intimidation. I support that agenda. I am concerned that we might be creating emboldened clerks within the Bill. I propose that we get guidance on how we can address that because we might have a situation where the clerks run everything, and they might even undermine the work being done in the county assemblies due to corruption. When the crafters of the Constitution introduced devolution, they did not envision creating individual millionaires. We now have demagogue governors who undermine development."
