    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I once said that in law, there are as many opinions as there are lawyers in this House. We are not deficient of them. I think even the spirit of those who wanted to make this law--- You are told that, sometimes, you should not read the law as plain as it is. Sometimes, you need to look at the spirit and the intentions of some of the laws that are being made. The reason as to why public and state officers are asked to resign from their positions before they vie for any elective position is because, presumably, most of them were appointed to those positions. The only other elective position that becomes a State officer, apart from the President, Deputy President and a Member of Parliament, happens to be the Governor, the Deputy County Governor and the County Assembly. So, for someone who had been elected into an office being asked to resign before he can seek another office, it is being discriminatory. If a law discriminates against its own citizens, then that law in, itself, is inconsistent with the Constitution."
