We do not want it to look like the chair is the President and the Deputy President is the vice-chairman. We are trying to recognize that the county governments exist. The Governors under Article 18 will have their Council of Governors where they will elect one of them on a two-year basis according to the proposal that will be coming for amendment. So we must recognize these people. If not, we are creating a subservient scenario and that is what we want to avoid so that it reflects truly what the Constitution is."}
