    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, much as I sympathize with the sentiments expressed by Dr. Khalwale and the need, perhaps, for a Senator to address or to sit, unfortunately, if you look at our Constitution, even at the election point our Constitution is very clear that you cannot even be elected into the county assembly if you are a Member of Parliament. A Senator is a Member of Parliament. It is the recognition that we need to separate the two together. So, I can see the point of being invited. If it is by invitation you do not need to put that in the law. Not only do they need to invite the Senator, they can also invite business people. We do not need to put that in the law. So, I would urge that we remove it, first of all, because of the conflict within the Constitution and also not to get an overbearing Senator using the law to keep telling the county assembly that the law says he must be invited. Let us separate the two and devolve properly."
