    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to respond to both. Let me start with the one by Mr. Orengo. My understanding is that each of the people who sit on that summit has one vote. If it is true, then the national level of Government has two votes but the county level of Government has 47 votes. Therefore, what you are fearing, that the national level will lord it the county government does not obtain because there are 47 votes from the 47 county Governors. The President and Deputy President have only two votes. This thing will only come to weigh down on us many years later on. It is a fact that you cannot give the Deputy President Executive powers then he continues serving as a principal assistant of the President. We want the Deputy President to be felt at all levels of Government. What would we be hiding from the Deputy President? Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, I think your issue is pertinent but may be you had not followed my initial explanation. I request that you listen to my initial explanation and think about it as we vote on this issue. I believe that we want to, again, reduce the power of the President by making him realize that all the time he has a deputy who is capable and who can be relied on."
