    "content": "My other point is with regard to election of mayors and county council chairmen. We know that somewhere, midway their terms, there is another election that takes place. We hope that when this Bill is brought, it will address that issue and ensure that when mayors and chairmen are elected, they serve a full term just like Parliamentarians. This will also bring about harmony in the councils. We have sometimes seen how mayors and chairmen of councils being held hostage by councillors. This is because if a mayor or a chairman of a county council does not support councillors in whatever they wish to do, then when it comes to the midway elections, they do not know what to do. However, if the payments of mayors, councillors and council chairmen were made from the Consolidated Fund, we would see some stability in the councils and whatever they want to do would address the real needs of people, but not to serve a few individuals."
