    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clause 29 is the recall clause; I believe it should be revised upwards. Thirty per cent threshold is too low, and we are leaving it open to manipulation by the rich. Some of us did not win because of having used money. It was because of our popularity but it will be very easy to unseat a sitting county assembly member when we have this 30 per cent threshold. A tycoon from within the locality who may feel as if he has been arm twisted by such a member of the county can easily apply this clause, knowing that 30 threshold is not going to be difficult to attain. Let us put it at 50 or 60 per cent for that matter, so that whoever will want to unseat a county member will see that it will be an uphill task . After all, here in Parliament we propose 75 per cent and I want to think we should not be unfair by proposing 30 per cent threshold for a county assembly member."
