"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I have done my lobbying in the National Assembly and Members of Parliament there are waiting with bated breath that we send this Bill as a message to them. They also want to give their contribution by saying it is wrong for us to imagine that the Constitution was creating mini presidents. The Constitution of Kenya does not contemplate a mini president at the county level; the Constitution of Kenya contemplates 47 county governments run by Governors, who are answerable to the people of the county and who are forever being over sighted by the county assembly, led at the top by the Senator of that particular county. If you give them anything more than that, we shall run into problems. So, we shall borrow from the USA, where a Governor is respectively referred to as “Mr. Governor.” You saw it in the debate between Mitt Romney and Obama, where Obama would respectively during those debates say “Governor Romney;” that is the way it is. So, how come the Governor of California, who controls the worlds’ fifth largest economy accepts to be called Governor and the Governor of Kakamega, where they do not even have public toilets, wants to say he is “His Excellency?” Why is he not doing those toilets first, with all due respect?"
