    "content": "The other thing I want to point out is that about removal of the county governor from office. It is important to note that a governor will be elected by universal franchise. That is stipulated in Clause 47. Since a governor will have been elected by universal franchise, it will not be fair for us to create a situation where only one-third of the county assembly can activate the process for his removal. It is my humble suggestion to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government that the threshold for initiating the process for the removal of the governor be fixed at a higher level. We could fix it at 50 per cent of the assembly membership to avoid having petty people trying to initiate the process of removing the county governor from office all the time. This way, we will reduce the number of quarrels that we have at that level."
