    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the recall clause, I support the idea of recalling assembly members, because from my own experience I am aware of the county councillors who absent themselves from the activities of their councils. They absent themselves from their wards and, in fact, come and literally live in urban centres, thereby ignoring totally the people who elected them. I do support the idea that there is need for discipline; that is why we have a recall clause. We must also bear in mind that there is a possibility of this recall clause being misused or abused out of malice by those who lose in the elections. So, I would want to say, as hon. Kathuri has just said, that we need to put a very high threshold for those who will want to recall the members of the assembly."
